Sahur

This year is the first year i'll be celebrating the month of ramadhan alone. And i mean, reaaaaallllyyy alone.

Staying in campus during the uni days, although being away from the family, i was never really alone. People would drop by during iftar, and i would sahur with my room mates.

But now, things are different. My family is thousands of kilometers away, i'm not too close to my extended family and even if i was, they live too far away to really make a difference. My house mate rarely comes home for dinner and almost never wakes up for sahur. And my loved one, she's got a family of her own to be with during this holy month, and since i know how important it is to be with family during this time, i'm not the sort to ask her to spend it with me just so i won't be lonely.

So where does that leave me, during this holy month? Simply put, on my own. That's ok, its always good to experience something like this once in a while. Part of the trials of ramadhan, so to speak.
