by the way (i’m not sure if this is gonna make you feel better or worse…) but i left my phone at home when i went out on shabbos. figured my mom wasn’t calling anyway… 😉
honestly, not all my friends use theirs on shabbos anyway, so it wasn’t a huge deal. but the only reason i was able to do that is because i was with them. when i’m home there’s no way i can’t not text. (i don’t really talk – i know it’s all the same but texting seems not as bad. stupid, i know.)
so i guess you could call that a change.
