I have not celebrated Ash Wednesday for years and now my boyfriend and I will be giving things up for the first time in years. When I was younger I used to celebrate lent by giving up junk food. This year I thinking about giving up more. My boyfriend will be giving up smoking cigarettes and fast food. Since I have not celebrated lent in years I want to test my will by giving up drinking, smoking cigarettes and weed, and sex. I have not gone a week without having sex. I would have to throw out all my vibrators so there will be no temptations. The only problem is that if I give it up, so will my boyfriend. The drinking will just annoy me because everywhere I go there are people playing drinking games and the constant saying of “Drink Bitch”. The smoking is something that I will have to stop anyway. I know that if I test positive for weed I will never get a decent job. This will be the hardest thing that I will ever have to do. I don’t even know why I want to practice lent, I guess you do crazy things when you are in love.
