This year, we became a community of 12,000 strong right here. 12,000 real people who chose to read, listen, question, learn, and grow together. I don’t take that lightly, not for a second.
2025, you changed me.
Looking back, this year feels unreal, in the most beautiful way. It was a year of firsts.
My first podcast.
My first article.
My first interview.
And my very first Coldplay concert.
One night, thousands of voices and enough energy to carry me through the entire year. Somehow, that energy stayed with me. Quietly pushing me to show up, to express myself, and to finally trust my voice.
With that spark, I started creating content with no expectations, just a desire to share honestly and create awareness. I never imagined it would lead to recognition, growth, or people truly trusting my words. The love was overwhelming. Slowly, a community formed. And today, that community is 12,000 of you. That kind of trust humbles me every single day.
As a child, I dreamt of becoming a journalist. I didn’t know how or when and somewhere along the way, I stopped believing it would happen. Yet this year, I found myself living that dream quietly, effortlessly, as if life was gently saying, “See? You were always meant for this.”
My words found a home in leading global publications, pages I once read with admiration, never imagining my name would sit there someday. Life surprised me again and again. I found myself in rooms, on podcasts, and behind cameras with industry leaders I once looked up to from afar. Conversations turned into interviews. Interviews turned into stories. And those stories became moments I’ll carry forever.
2025 took me places, literally and emotionally.
20+ cities. 7 countries. Countless flights.
New cultures, unfamiliar streets, different foods, unforgettable experiences.
I had the privilege of attending 10+ crypto conferences, showing up in different roles. From being a KOL, to a media voice, to a business partner. Each space taught me something new and reminded me how far I’ve come.
I made new connections. Outgrew a few. Learned the value of both.
I grew. I healed. I moved forward.
This year was about progress, surprises, rediscovering long-lost dreams, and finally believing in myself. A year of turning imagination into reality.
Stepping into 2026 with bigger goals, wider horizons, more travel, and growth beyond what I can see right now.
What a year to look back on.
And what a journey this continues to be. 🌍✨
Thank you for being part of this journey.
