Fasting from Facebook

Matt Jenson is fasting from Facebook for Lent. A lot of people are doing this, but Matt’s the only one I’ve noticed writing fascinating insights about the experience:

After a long day, if I’m feeling a bit disconnected relationally, I might miss the guarantee of an instant online connection with an old friend. (The most significant pain and pleasure has come in loosing myself from this guarantee, thus creating space for quiet, reflection and something a little bit closer to true solitude.)
