‘Crossroads in Manhattan’ authored by myself and co-author Timothy back in 2019, is now available on Amazon Kindle for purchase🎉. It's amazing how something that started out as bants has grown into something so incredible🥺. All links in the thread below👇🏽.
DiCaprio winning an Oscar for The Revenant is actually insane considering the fact that he should’ve won it for his performance in ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape?’—he nailed it.
There are only so many times I’ll get to watch the earth complete another circle with me still standing on it.
I refuse to let the familiarity of that miracle make me forget that it is one.
Today is usually an emotional day for my Mother.
Naturally, she tries to conceal it every year and probably thinks I don’t notice. But I do. And truthfully, it has become emotional for me too. The older I get, the more I understand. The more I appreciate the weight she carried, the strength it took, and the quiet sacrifices that shaped my life long before I was old enough to recognize them.
Oh my beloved Mother, if you’re reading this, I hope you know how deeply you’re loved. You walked so that I could run. You gave up pieces of your own story so mine could be written differently. I hope that with every birthday of mine, you’re reminded not of the difficult moments, but of God’s grace. I hope you can look at my life and see that every prayer, every sacrifice, every tear, and every ounce of faith was never in vain. And I hope you’re proud of the man your little boy is becoming.
Happy birthday to us, Mum. This day belongs to you just as much as it belongs to me. ❤️
there is no small effort.
no wasted attempt.
no meaningless repetition.
everything you do is shaping the hands that will hold your future.
even now.
especially now.
decide.
decide before you feel ready. decide before the fear finishes its speech. decide while your hands are still shaking.
because the future does not reward hesitation. it responds to commitment. the door does not open for the one who analyzes the hinge. it opens for the one who turns it.
you do not need certainty. you need direction.
decide.
and let the world rearrange itself around that decision.
I’m forever making du’a that Allah grants me my beautiful ending,the dream career, financial freedom, sincere friendships, a loving family, peace, love, and every blessing that is good for me. May what’s written for me be better than what I’ve imagined. Ameen.
‘May’
/meɪ/—verb;expressing possibility.
Just as in the definition of the word, I hope this month brings nothing but endless possibilities and rewards. Happy new month friends🫶🏽.
Unpopular opinion:
Slot is actually an average manager. He just benefited from Klopps work/system and now that what’s left of his work/system has been dismembered, the new guy can’t seem to find his feet.
