all my homies love Sunnis. shout out to Iqbal and his mama, taking me in when I had nothing. they taught me the fundamental differences between Sunni and Shi’a. they were Sunni and so perfectly enveloped what I always grew up hearing in the church, but they were actually doing it. really shaped a lot of my beliefs. I hope they’re doing well. they refused to stay in contact because that was a dark time in my life and that should be a memory no man need reminding. but every time I think of it, I think of them.
