Breaking the writing silence

I decided to start a blog with unbounded enthusiasm and a strong desire to share my views, experiences, and passions with the rest of the world. However, life’s numerous activities and duties soon intervened, forcing me to pause on this self-imposed career path. However, as I reflect on my path and the experiences that have shaped me, I realize that the need to write, express myself, and connect with others through my words has never left me. So here I am, ready to rekindle that flame, to dive back into the world of blogging with new vigour and purpose.

Since my last published blog on May 19, life has taken me on a whirlwind journey filled with twists and turns. In the span of just one year, I’ve leaped into the realms of three different companies, each offering unique challenges and opportunities. Along the way, I’ve not only changed companies but also shifted my focus in terms of the technologies I work with, effectively reshaping my career trajectory

But it’s not only about the professional changes; it’s also about the individuals I’ve met and the bonds I’ve formed along the road. From mentors who have helped me through unknown territory to coworkers who have become dear friends, each connection has made an everlasting effect on my life.

After sitting down and reflecting on the past year and the activities that have ensued in it I can describe it as the year in which I was to lose myself in order to find myself. I have had both low and high moments and sad and happy moments.

There were times when I felt adrift, unsure of my path and questioning my decisions. Yet, through those struggles, I discovered resilience I never knew I possessed. Each setback became an opportunity for growth, each challenge a chance to redefine myself.

But amidst the lows, there were also moments of triumph and elation. Achievements that filled me with pride and reminded me of my capabilities. And through it all, I found moments of genuine happiness, often in the simplest of pleasures and the connections forged with others along the way.

As I dive headfirst into this world of coding and technology, I realize that the journey has been worth every challenge and setback along the way. I’m living out a childhood dream, turning those aspirations into reality one line of code at a time.

I will continue on this path, I carry with me the same sense of wonder and determination that fueled my ambitions all those years ago. And with each new accomplishment, I’m reminded of the power of perseverance and the magic that happens when passion meets purpose.

Join me as I rediscover my voice, share my tales, and go on this wonderful journey again.

Be curious 🎉
