lent

i didn't grown up in a family that
followed certain traditions.
so i never really knew what lent was,
just kind of a word of mouth type thing.
hearing it from classmates, friends, and tv.

i was aware that it was giving up something
for a short period of time. so, typical curious person who
doesn't know something; i googled it to see what it was. lol.

i understand i am i bit late for starting it since
technically you're supposed to start it on ash wednesday
so it typically ends on easter or the day beforehand.
i also understand it lasts 40 days.

but nonetheless, i decided to give it a try.
i am giving up soda, which will be easy because
i don't drink it too much anyway and also any kind of junk food.
that means chocolate, chips, candy,
and all other junk like that.

it starts tomorrow. the countdown begins.
wish me luck!
[everytime i update, i will have the countdown at the
bottom of the screen, unless of course i don't make it to
the whole 40 days]
