i met my younger self for coffee today
she showed up late and i was somewhat early waiting for her to arrive
she ordered a black coffee and i ordered a iced mocha
she was worried about who she would spend her high school years with i told her we’ve got the best group of friends
she told me she was lost on how to balance her deen (religion) with dunya (the world) i told her im still working towards it but have a rhythm going
she told me she doesn’t know what path to take for her career i said i’m working towards becoming a teacher
she told me i can’t wait to grow up i said i want to go back to my childhood
i can’t wait to get coffee with her again

there’s something quite melancholy and cathartic about it, like wow, I’m old enough and I’ve been living in this neighborhood long enough to start to be recognized as a familiar face. i love that i can walk into my favorite coffee shop and be greeted as a friend, by baristas who know exactly my coffee particularities but don’t frown if i want something different from my usual order. it feels especially comforting on days i miss home and feel kind of alone, kind of afraid of being an adult. being a regular is feeling seen and known even by relative strangers, with whom you can connect over a comforting drink or meal! this is just one of the ways i love to cultivate a sense of home and community in my coming-of-age years— it’s so grounding to experience familiarity especially when you’re adjusting to living alone, recently moved to a new city, or otherwise needing to feel settled during tumultuous times!
