Hey everyone,
I hope everyone has had a nice Elul and is gearing up for סליחות tonight.
Man oh man, it's been three weeks since my last fall I am so charged up for pritzus and I feel like nothing would please me more, nothing would be more relaxing and enjoyable than seeing something enticing on the internet.
But then I thought for a moment, you are doing so well, you can go into the home stretch of Rosh HaShanah with almost a full clean month. Why should you ruin it now!?
So, as the temptation blitzed me I said let me write a post about how great the taiva is but also have the presence of mind to fight the taiva and not give in just two hours before starting סליחות . Amazing, you could almost be on your way to say סליחות and the taiva is pulsing and it feels like I could actually fall. Well you know what...I'm tired of falling. I'm tired of waking up the next morning feeling depressed because I fell the night before. I'm tired of falling for my own yetzer harah when he says it's just one little five minute thing, just go onto the that website and check out pritzus then just stop. Just do it and relax. No! I am going to be strong and have the presence of mind to stop! I am tired of having that flushed burning feeling in my face. Hey, I'm going through a little bit of a rough time in life. I had a recent broken engagement and I need Hashem to help me feel upbeat and feel like my old self again. I figured being a holy and pure person can help Hashem be on my side to feel good again.
Thanks for reading and have a !כתיבה וחתימה טובה
