Depends on the person getting the tattoo imo

Some people can make anything degenerate

I’m not in favor of banning social media because finding and becoming part of the online Orthodox community is one thing that helped me solidify my faith when I came back to the Church last year

And in general, social media DOES have benefits. Yeah there are downsides, but there are downsides to just about everything

Like literally all of my Orthodox best friends, I met because of social media and they are a big influence and support in my life

We have a small orthodox community where I live and the youth in our churches don’t really take church seriously for the most part. Social media has connected me to the most grounding and important people in my life, who take the faith seriously and help me grow as a Christian. Befriending them was actually the catalyst that finally brought me back last year, and on more than one occasion have held me in place from leaving again when I fell back into my old ways. It’s really motivating and inspiring to have found friends that struggle with you and care about church. Like I literally wouldn’t be where I am with my faith if it wasn’t for social media and the people I’ve met through it. Not to mention all the Orthodox Facebook groups that provide something wholesome to browse through and keep my mind centered on Orthodox content

Smh

Intermittent fasting is so great aaaa. When I’ve got a good routine (in general) going, it’s a super helpful thing to have as part of my routine. I just haven’t decided whether skipping food for the first part of the day and eating later in the afternoon is better for me, or if it’s better to have breakfast and lunch and just not eat again until the next morning.

It’s definitely easier to not eat when I wake up and prolong that as long as I can, but then I’m more likely to eat to much in the evening

Too* much

But I think it’s probably better for me personally to start my day with food, so I’ll just have to learn how to deal with the night cravings better

Same here
