Ok, so going to the gym yesterday proved to be a disastrous idea. But, I felt good about it. I am glad I did it and I think I will continue to do so.
I woke up at 4.40 am not realizing what I was doing and in a state of “WHY THE FUCK AAM I OUT OF BED?!” I thought I would use the time to engage in some consumption of water, however, being Ramadan and not wanting to leave anything to chance, I begrudgingly tipped a pint of chilled water down the drain. How I long for even tepid water now.
I have also come to realise that Ramadan is a time of impeccable oral hygiene. Due to an increased risk of halitosis, I have found myself brushing my teeth 3-4 times as many times as I usually do. I brushed 8 times during the day yesterday. I’m going to have thee whitest teeth in the world.
When I later awoke after having gone to bed, rather thirsty, I thought to myself
“Today is going to be hellish”
As I was praying I realised that this is nothing. There are so many people out there, namely those in Iraq, Syria, Libya, African countries stricken with a plethora of adversity and so many more people who suffer greater than having no meal for a few hours.
It provoked me to stop and stare. I am fortunate and I realise it. That you god, for everything you have given me.
Much love,
Jackson L.
