Today I find myself at the intersection of new beginnings. Last week marked the launch of a journey I’ve been postponing for years — I finally started my very own YouTube channel. This decision was fueled by a passion for adventures, a love for books, and a desire to connect with like-minded individuals across the globe.

Taking a step further into this adventure, yesterday, I posted my first BookTube video. The video is a personal share of my April TBR list. This video for me is not just about listing books; it’s an invitation to my viewers to join me on a literary journey, explore narratives that challenge and inspire, to discuss and share insights.

Today, as I pen down this blog post, I’m not just celebrating the birth of my YouTube channel but also my birthday. I’m not merely a year older today, but a bit wiser, braver, and ready to embrace both the challenges and joys that lie ahead in this new chapter. This blog post is a checkpoint, a moment of pause to acknowledge the steps taken and the journey ahead.

Today of all days I want to remind you and myself that the best stories are not just the ones we read but also the ones we live.

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Let’s turn the page together and dive into the next chapter.
