Birthday Blog 🎂

Looking back and forward, planning where to go and appreciating how far I’ve come

🎯 Use what you have #

If there’s one thing this year slapped into my head, it’s this — you can do a lot with a little.
Doesn’t matter if life handed you the worst possible card — you can still grind your way up 🪜. Slowly, sure, but you’ll get there.


I’ll be honest — I fell for the “you can get it now” trap.
Not literally today, but that vibe you get when you look up to people like Andrew Tate, Iman Gadzhi, or whoever inspires you — that fast grind, flashy results energy.

It’s seductive. It makes your brain think: “Yeah, I’ll just work hard, move fast, and boom — done.”
Reality check: it is a lot harder than I thought 😅.


When I started my journey earlier this year, I was fired up.
And yeah, I got things moving — but man, it was way harder than I imagined.

Halfway through, life basically told me to chill. Slow down.
Handle things as they are. (Also, my laptop died 💀)

Was it frustrating? Yes. Was it necessary? Absolutely.
It forced me to breathe 🌬️ and figure out the minimum viable way to keep moving forward.


Somewhere along the way, I started looking at life like a big board game 🎲 — zooming out, seeing the patterns from above 🪂.
And honestly? That shift in perspective changed everything.

So, here’s the real takeaway: Slow down 🐌.
Constant, small effort »> short bursts of obsession.

If you can’t see a new habit becoming part of your actual everyday life — don’t even bother forcing it.
Show up daily, even if it’s only for 5 minutes.

Detach from the outcome. Give it 3 months. Then let the results speak for themselves.


🚀 The next three months? #

  • Touch typing (writing this blog like this right now… and I suck 🤦🏽‍♂️)
  • Backend development — been at it for a month and a half, and I plan to finish.
  • Revisit frontend development, maybe dust off some 3D rendering.
  • Maybe dip into crypto after that.

But here’s the big one: I promise a fully working Android app before the end of the year 📱.
It won’t be perfect — but by then, I’ll be in a rhythm where new projects drop every other week.

Basics first. Always.

And yeah… Web too easy pffff… just kidding 😏.


🥂 Birthday toast to the journey #

Here’s to showing up even when nobody’s clapping.
Here’s to failing, laughing, and trying again.
Here’s to the next year being wilder and better than we can imagine.

And here’s to you — for being here, for caring, for chasing your own thing while I chase mine.

Happy Birthday to me — but cheers to our journey 🛤️.
