I spend a significant percentage of my fasting month just explaining what Ramadan is to peopleIreland can be a hard place to fast. I think I spend a significant percentage of my fasting month just explaining what Ramadan is to people, but it’s something I enjoy doing so I don’t mind. However, this hasn’t always been the case and there was a period in my adult life where I didn’t feel like I was physically capable of doing Ramadan. In my 20s Ramadan fell during the height of summer, which is also the height of festival season for me. Normally my brain goes a mile a minute and I’ve “to do lists” for my “to do lists”, but during the month of Ramadan I’m forced to slow down.
