I miss seeing somali people all the time the crazy eid celebrations, sleeping in during the afternoon the beach in berbera
where do i start?
Lying in the beach carefree sipping ice cold beverages the smell of the xalimos perfume carried by the ocean wind from their diraacs, the giggle of children as they played happily on endless sandy beaches; the aroma of freshy caught fish being grilled over open charcoal stoves the persistent pleas of merchants selling fruits and nuts the breath taking coolness of the mists over sheikh escarpments.
I was born in wales, my father was born here aswell and his father before emigrated here from yemen and never lived in somalia. yet i feel homesick over a home i had never seen before until recently stuck in still black and white images. I'm thankful i got the chance to visit somalia and i wish to move there soon, rn im stuck in the diaspora with my age mates growing further and further from tradition the deen and our homeland.
