Ramadan fast part 2

Today was the second day of my Ramadan fast. I again had breakfast  at 3:00 am but today I ended it at 9:00 pm. The second day was easier than the first one.  I didn't feel the hunger as much. I kept myself occupied most of the day working on the computer mostly and chatting with friends which was fun.I was tired but I wanted to keep going and I succeeded both days and got through it. I was honestly really very honored by this whole experience.  To be able to fast a long side my friends and others. Like I have said before I have never fasted before for anything. This was truly a fun life changing experience for me and I enjoyed it. For these past two days I really felt like we were unified as one in this holy fast. It was really peaceful and I really felt a lot of togetherness the whole time. I was oddly really invigorating .It made me feel really good to do this with the people I love and for those maybe I have yet to meet. I would do this all again. I hope to experience this again maybe next year. We will see what the future holds.

I came up with this whole idea to fast after seeing an article online about how a group of Muslims were celebrating lent so that game me the idea. If they can celebrate lent with their catholic friends then why couldn't I do the same thing only with Ramadan?. I enjoyed this experience. I remember when I first told my friends they were pleasantly surprised by me wanting to do this and it took a lot of convincing with my family. I had a lot of help from my friends so that I would know how to fast safely and how to brake the fast without getting myself sick. I was in good hands. I couldn't have done this without the help of my friends and I thank them for it. I was proud to fast a long side them this Ramadan.

This was a real learning experience for me. I am happy to have had it. I learned a lot from it about myself and it really gave me a lot of discipline. This was a lot more challenging then I expected at first. Like I was really hungry especially yesterday but at the same time it felt good. Honestly I was really happy and honored to have joined my friends in a peaceful Ramadan fast this weekend. It was definitely a new experience but its done now for me anyway.

If I had one prayer for Ramadan or one wish it would be for world peace. I know it sounds cheesy but I feel like the world could really use a lot of unity right now and I feel like we really do need to come together in a lot of ways and show the world that we can come together as one and for one weekend I fasted with my Muslim friends as a non Muslim for one weekend. Wish them a happy Ramadan Mubarak as they continue their fasts and happy prayers this Ramadan.
