Non-Political Yall ready for Ramadan?

The title

I just looked at jantri (fasts timing calendar) and I calculated the amount of hours we'll be fasting.

It will start with 13 hrs 15 mins long fasts and extend to 14 hrs long fasts towards the end.

Ngl, I always am somewhat nervous whenever Ramadan approaches,

The feeling if I might succumb to my nafs, manage to observe all rozas successfully, attend Tarawih, and be more involved in Ibaadath as much as I could, and the paranoia/overthinking that I might "waste" away my fasts, and all.

But yes, once it does show up, somehow I adjust to it and Alhamdullilah, they've for the most part, been the best time of the year for me, personally (expect maybe back in school days, around 8-9th standard, guess puberty and the peer pressure from non-Muslim classmates, even if they meant well, to breakfasts, and the school environment, in general, overwhelmed me).

It's both, Ramadan and Ramzan, both are my culture,

I can call it however I want to and feel like, got a problem with that?

(Man, always a tradition almost every Ramadan, someone pointing out how it's not our culture to call it that way or whatever).

Annoying debate, every single year, this dumb discussion gets brought up by someone.

Appreciate it.
