Eid celebration in Dallas on Saturday was freaking fantastic. Thank you to those who helped Samirah and I get back and forth, like, almost every day of this month. It's over now, which makes it bittersweet, because it always feels great to mingle with people of my own culture during all the years that I'm away from my actual family, and so I don't want it to end... But also, Ramadan during the month of June is killer because longer days and I GET SO HANGRY.
At least the universe decided to take people out of here after the whole month, so not to ruin the festivities. Would have preferred it added more instead of taking. Ugh.
Back in the world I was in before this one, I was staying in NYC, and NYC has a super diverse population that it didn't take very long to find a community of my own culture among the city even if my main support system isn't here. Tumbleweed... is no NYC. So, if anyone wouldn't teleporting me every once in a while over to Dallas or Houston to get that cultural feel again, I swear, I'll feed you.
