wow. every single word of this. right down to the Umrah trip this summer! I went with my family in August and came back feeling so spiritually refreshed just to fall back into old (if not worse than old) habits. The part about thinking about God all the time and doing nothing about it, man, I admitted that exact same sentiment to God (and myself) last night and I genuinely feel I was meant to read this this morning. We’re both going to do so much better, I love ramadan truly

thank you for writing this. the piece resonates with me. as someone who has been very on and off with her prayers and others, i’m relieved to still have the chance to meet ramadan and feel His presence better than usual. i hope you’re feeling better after writing and sharing this piece
