Ramzan Mubarak everyone! Last week I went over to my friend (& brilliant writer!) Safia Elhillo’s for Iftar. Safia and I live a few train stops away from each other & so we’re constantly at each others’ apartments & it is truly one of the greatest gifts that I could ask for. When she first moved and that happened, I was recently vaccinated & beginning to come out of my cocoon of quarantine. I went to her spot & halfway through our conversation, she sensed all the bullshit I wasn’t saying, looked at me clearly and asked a question that got at the heart of everything I hadn’t been saying to myself for months. I broke open & started to cry, and then we had a cry session together (lol).
