What actions make you feel vulnerable?
For my family and I, it’s birthdays. To be exact, I should say receiving birthdays as a celebration is vulnerable.
It was too much to actually look at each other so we all stared at the cake, waiting to sing the last line of the song as we watched the flaming candles sway side to side, side to side. We celebrated my umma’s birthday birthday recently and I couldn’t help but to notice and feel the
awkward love we have for each other.
