Hey, it’s been a while since I last wrote.
We’re all at that age where we’re trying to find our footing and define what success means—career, education, family, relationships. It’s been a crazy ride, and I know I’m not the only one navigating this whirlwind. One moment you feel young and invincible; the next, you're wondering if time is slipping through your fingers. Some of our friends are raising families, some are scaling career mountains, and others are still figuring it out.
If I were to write about anything today, it would be about this stage I’m in. The climb. The stretch. The transition. That delicate balance of ambition and self-awareness. I’m standing at a significant hill in my life—navigating career growth, relationship evolution, friendship transitions, wealth building, family responsibilities, and continuous learning.
Career: Grace in Every Step
I'm filled with gratitude when I reflect on how far I’ve come. In what seems like a blink, I’ve ascended to leadership roles across multiple organizations. From managing IT systems and innovations to influencing strategic direction, it still feels surreal. It hasn’t been all glitz—there have been days of struggle, disappointment, and uncertainty. But with God as my guide, I’ve pressed on. The support system around me, especially the woman in my life, has been nothing short of divine. I don’t take that lightly.
Relationship: A Story Only Heaven Could Write
This journey would be incomplete without touching on my relationship. It’s been a beautiful blend of mystery and grace—like a story told by moonlight. It hasn’t been easy, but it’s been real. We’ve faced moments that test and teach. And in every phase, it’s been a blessing and a lesson. I pray I continue to grow into the man this love deserves.
Friendship: More Than Just a Bond
If there’s one thing I consider a priceless gift, it’s the friendships I’ve built. They are family. From the wild to the wise, the bold to the reserved—each one has added flavor to my journey. We've supported one another through new jobs, marriages, business ideas, breakdowns, and breakthroughs. And painfully, we’ve also felt the sting of loss. Losing DBY reminded us that tomorrow isn’t promised. We cherish the memories, and we move forward, more intentional than ever.
Wealth Creation: The Grit Behind the Grind
This is the phase where you stop chasing quick wins and start building foundations. I’ve dabbled in many ventures, launched startups under Nex Hub, and learned firsthand what resilience really means. Some businesses soared. Others fell short. But every experience has shaped me. What fuels me isn’t the applause—it’s the why. The dream of impact. Of leaving something that outlives me.
Family: My Anchor
Family remains the core of everything. I’m deeply grateful for the parents and siblings that God handpicked for me. You’ve been my reason, my strength, my “why.” If you’re reading this—know that I LOVE YOU, fiercely.
Growth & Learning: Earning Every Stripe
I recently earned a master’s degree—fully self-sponsored. That milestone holds weight beyond the certificate. It tells a story of grit, sacrifice, and silent nights of struggle. It’s not just about what I learned in class, but who I became in the process. It’s a chapter worthy of its own book.
In the End
Life has been beautiful and brutal, sometimes both in the same week. It’s been filled with signs, many of which I’m still learning to read. But I believe this deeply: we’re not here for a long time, but we can make it a meaningful time. So, let’s show up for life. Let’s be present, grow forward, and honor the journey.
This is my letter from the climb. And I know, somehow, you’re climbing too.
