I wish I had even one practicing friend

This is so silly and pretty much just me complaining but right now I don’t have any practicing close friends (not like because of anything specific but a combination of some friend group fights and moving away post college) and while my other friends are all absolutely lovely and supportive I just wish there was someone else I could talk to about faith and tradition. Especially because I’ve been having a hard time without a community to practice with. I’m in an area that is without practicing Jews. There are 3 other Jews without crossing international borders, but they aren’t observant/practicing. Yes I know this is crazy, and I’m planning to move, but I’m gonna be in this region for at least another year. And to be clear I’m not super practicing. I keep kosher adjacent ish (no pork mainly) and only am actually kosher for holidays. I light candles and say a prayer on Shabbat but then I go right back on my phone. But I do believe, and I wish I was more observant but it’s so hard when I’m alone. And everyone else around here is already weirded out enough by my level of practice I honestly couldn’t deal with trying to explain more, and then answer more questions about Israel. Idk this is just a vent and I didn’t know where else to share it.
