Ramazan

The Islamic month of fasting is approaching and I have to admit I am looking forward to it.

I've never experienced Ramazan in a Muslim country before so it will be interesting to see how the people change their lifestyles.

People who choose to fast cut off all food and even water when the sun is up(Ramazan is a big topic to explain but I wont even try so I can actually make my point).

Though I won't take part in the fasting/praying/spiritual experience of Ramazan I think it will be a good reminder for me to slow down.

I must admit that I've been raging a little too much lately and often find myself biting my fist out of embarrassment in the mornings as my memory resurfaces.

I need to adapt and shed my American state school girl (leatherneck). This is İstanbul, Türkiye not Macomb, Illinois.

And really, that's what Ramazan is about; it's a cleansing process.

I'm just half-assing it.
