the original dry january! i'm not a practicing christian and haven't done lent since i was like 10 but i decided to try out lent this year just to see if i could give up something trivial for a while.
i have a major sweet tooth so i decided to give up candy. im excited to see how i do and its kind of fun to microdose catholicism after being off the horse for while.
try it out with something you really like but can also realistically live without (sweets, fast food, screen time, texting boys, etc.)

I was browsing the calendar app yesterday and realized how quickly Fat Tuesday is approaching (March 4th). I haven’t been a practicing catholic since I was around 12yrs old, but I still do lent every year because it teaches me a lot about myself and it feels good to work on accomplishing a goal along with other people. It helps keep me accountable! In high school I chewed so much gum that it made my jaw ache. I gave it up for lent one year and now it’s so rare for me to chew a piece of gum. That’s so cool to me!
Typically, I give up one of my eternal loves: ice cream or Coke. However, this year I’m facing my fears and giving up my true vice… weed. My family usually does lent on lazy mode (we let ourselves have whatever it is we gave up on Sundays), but this year I’m going hard mode just to see what I can achieve.

give up meat or cigarettes or having food delivered or just fast. its reflective and makes you feel better than people cause you think youre suffering more

This challenge is called EXPIRATION eating.
1) Go buy a fuck ton of ONE fast junky food you really want to eat
2) check the expiration ie: ice cream that expires 3 years from the day you bought it
3) get jacked and eat healthy foods only for two years and 364 days
4) eat the ice cream hours before it expires
5) the dopamine rush will feel like

listen carefully when i tell you this.. you have the right of way in just about every situation. it is the car driver's responsibility to not hit people. now i'm not condoning jumping into traffic here. you should still make responsible decisions as a pedestrian.
BUT
you must feel empowered to exercise your right of way.
is a car trying to roll thru a stop sign while you're crossing and attempting to cut you off? keep walking. get in their way and make them slow down. look directly at them thru the windshield. mouth (or shout) the words "thank you" and smile at them without breaking eye contact and without breaking your stride. bonus points for slowing down your pace and making them wait even longer.
this is my daily retaliation against car-centric infrastructure. make them think, at least for one single moment, about their mistake and remind them that roads are for people before they are for cars. always.

frankly, arugula is just that girl and i use it all the time when i need to add leaves to my diet. also consider a nice arugula salad with parmesan, black pepper, olive oil, a white vinaigrette, and even sardines if you're feelin crazy ;)
