Chapter 26:
Reflection on the Past 5 Years.

…and just like that Im approaching my late 20s, it still feels like I just turned 21 yesterday, I still remember how Life felt 5 years ago, “where was I 5 years I go?”, I ask myself, in Ukraine finishing my bachelors degree, spending the nights playing PUBG with Luther and the weekends watching programming tutorials, Little did I know what was ahead of me.

The past 5 years have been full of ups and downs and I wouldn’t trade it nor have it any other way, every down has always resulted in a bigger up in hindsight, my God too sabi!!!

I thank God for the people in my Life, I thank God for the sweetest of Parents and siblings he blessed me with and the amazing friends he has brought my way. Ive seen life in a different way these past 5 years, friendships changed, priorities shifted, and some chapters closed but more importantly Ive learnt the value in true friendship, empathy and Ive learnt how to love and Ive found Love.

21 year old Daniel, We did really good, beyond what we anticipated or even prayed for. God is great! God showed up in ways I couldn’t have imagined, opening doors I didn’t even know how to knock on. When my strength ran low (actually that was alot of the time 💀) grace carried me.

The next five years feels even bigger, rich with potential, theres so much cooking up in the background, taking shape in ways only God can orchestrate. It’s the kind of greatness that doesn’t need rushing and I can’t wait, not out of impatience, but out of faith. Faith that what’s ahead will exceed what’s behind, just as the last five years did.

Happy Birthday to me 🤍
