I will be starting Ramadan tomorrow......

No food or water from sunrise to sunset is the basic guidelines i will be following.....

I will also be abiding by more "hardcore" rules given to me by a friend.....

NO WOMEN (deleting dating apps)
NO EXPLICIT MUSIC OR LANGUAGE
NO LAZINESS, STAY FOCUSED
LIVE CLEAN THROUGH ALL THE 5 SENSES......

I am doing this as a challenge for myself... i have no real job..... i have no real obligations..... rent and bills arent real things you live up to in life..... spiritual connection and resilience is the highest feat you can live for in life..... Malcolm X was told in jail that "take one step towards Allah, and Allah will take two steps towards you"..... i will never forget words.....

i told my mother this and my plans and she said i have to keep doing lent..... she asked if i would stop being catholic.....she is worried i will lose to much weight....

i opening up to this thread here to see if anyone has any fasting experience, or experience with ramadan.... i will also use this to chronicle my journey and struggles in any way i feel proper.....
Take multivitamins and you will feel less hungry.

everything has been going solid, i have not failed.... but unfortunately the past 3-4-5 days i cant remember i have slept through alarms because i stay up too late and i miss any oppurtunity to eat before sunrise..... its what it is.... i havent felt that bad tho.....
i started a little job at a movie theater yesterday, something to do while figure out life....it has been a blessing from allah... so easy.... only old people come in... i can tsee movies for free..... a ton of downtime for me to go on phone or read..... every coworker i have met is gay tho..... yesterday these three gays were just messing with me all day during my shift.... it is ramadan so i am trrying to resist these haram thoughts, but one girl is really hot tomboy stern looking, im wondering if she plays for both teams..... maybe ill find out, but i need to stay strong for allah this mpnth

how are you doing @kid charlemagne ?
honestly..... ok overall, but we have a problem today.... i keep messing up in staying up to late, then i miss my alarms and cant eat or drink anything all day until sunset..... happened again today and now my voice sounds funny, it sounds as if im sick but i feel fine, i dont have a cough sore throat or anything (knock on wood that this doesnt come in the coming days)..... only really a problem because i have to be at work in 2 hours and its a long shift and im not tryna be talking to people sounding sick... i am almost positive that this is from a lack of hydration, i think that messes with ur throat and vocals.... idk what to do, i dont want to fail but maybe i should chug a bunch of water to sound normal

i have been very good with no more women during ramadan and all temptations.... when i see women online and think naughty, when i see women in public, when i see women walking around with men, anytime i think "oh that must be nice, kid, remember dating apps?" i quickly stop myself from that thinking about focus on something more important.... this morning has made me quite strained upon myself though.... i need to stop failing my alarms..... i cannot be missing suhoor...... i will never miss it again

today was a blessed day..... of course it was the day i got up on time to get morning food and water before sunrise..... i was productive but didnt play guitar let me think.... yes and then i passed out and woke up at three then went to the gym to hoop..... i played great in all three games.... this one guy i talked to after the game.... he asked about religion and my life.... we spoke about the journeys we are on in life, and how we have to only compare ourselves to past selves and not to other people.... and that faith in god/allah will save you from all troubles... we have both seen it happen..... it was a powerful conversation to have after playing and running at each other in basketball.... basketball truly transends life..... then i made dinner and saw a great concert..... this cute girl doesnt answer my DMs but shes always one of the first to watch my instagram stories.... i will not complain or lament further over it because it is ramadan... i will stay strong.... it is quite late right now, but i am confident i will not sleep trhough my alarms.... god bless you all, especially wise luka

allah god was testing me today.... as i get ready to sit down and watch a clint eastwood film tonight.... i fight back the tears, i fight back the rage and anger, i fight back the dwelling on the anxieties and uncertainties that consume me.... i put my hand and my life in allah god.... the past couple days i put my body and mind through the exhuasting jubilations chamber of basketball... when i consistently put myself through these competitive sequences in life, i reach a high, an ecstacy, i feel ok, even when i dont play as well as i should... its about the fire inside and what consumes me in the moment.... then today i am at the movie theater job....just completely out of it and things.... grumpy groggy.... have to listen to micro managers who i dont respect or admire in any degree... the job is easy dont get me wrong, but it grinds at me having to take orders and be talked to on what to do by people i do not respect in any way shape or form.... when they tell me something and do their cute little smile or whatever the fuck i just glare at them.... and then sometimes in life when you talk to someone you love care about about things going on in life and then just end up feeling worse even though your supposed to talk about ur feelings but you just feel down anyway..... i felt bad going home because one of the girls i like who is always nice to be and messes with me and always makes me smile asked why i was grumpy today..... oh well....i just know i will be more on my best behavior..... i think back to the convo about religion and life on the court the other day.... lay ur life down and trust and have faith and a month away from a completely different life....... i sign off tonight to watch my film and remind myself to relax my senses and composed..... any feelings of rage sadness and regret and anxiety are cautions and tests from the higher power..... overcome and fight.... on to tomorrow.

For them that must obey authority
That they do not respect in any degree
Who despise their jobs, their destinies
Speak jealously of them that are free
Cultivate their flowers to be
Nothing more than something they invest in

Lost it all, from lives to love
Put my faith in my money, help me rise above
See I turned to the Lord when them times got tough
