As you are sitting here reading this, you have made it to this very point.
I don’t know what path you took to reach here. I don’t know what you have fought against or surrendered to, but you are here with desires in your heart.
You have been working pretty hard to make something of your life and making considerable progress, even if you are temporarily blind to it.
I am writing to you because I think you are in the same boat as me. We’re seeing progress and we can see ourselves getting to the next step. However, we also know that with this next step, there is no going back.
Instead of feeling scared or anxious, let’s be grateful and excited. We’ve worked hard to get here. Let’s see where our footsteps take us.
Sincerely,
Your Author Bayinnah
Quote of the Day
Believe in yourself and all that you are. There is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle.

🕰️ Our Little Time Capsule 🕰️
I sincerely believe I have been sucked into a different stratosphere.
As I am writing this, it is Jan 1st, 2025. I woke up feeling different, very very different. I think it is because a lot of absolute decisions are coming my way.
I am applying for colleges, and they intend to give me results this year. I also intend to go to campus at the end of this year, God willing. This along with writing, my new YouTube channel, and writing this newsletter, makes me realize what I spent my entire life trying to have is not in some void anymore. It’s right in front of me.
I have never been in this place before, and I am hyper aware of it.
I am reminded of the time where I was on one side of the world, staring at the horizon at the beach. I was crying my eyes out because I felt like my dreams was at that horizon. Forever far away. Now, it feels like it is tapping me on my shoulder.
How did you feel when it turned into the year 2025? Did you feel exhilarated, excited, or the same? Why?
Let’s write this collective diary together.
