My name is Shadman, I am in my mid-20s. I am someone who can be known as a third cultured kid, I was raised in one place, I consume a certain type of content and culture, and my parents from a whole different place. I have had the privilege of living abroad by myself, that broadened my sense of responsibility and horizon. I would say 2025 was a revolutionary year, where it was out with the old, and in with the new. I have uprooted my previous life, identity, and incompatible friends and laid a new foundation for my next formative years. Moving into 2026 is building onto that foundation. Brother Dino came at the perfect time across the social media space, where I knew exactly what to do, when to do. He puts it in an excellent and introspective manner. I am optimistic and hopeful that this great year, will be full of great opportunities and success. Future is bright at the horizon. P.S. And just like Dino, I had also dropped out of university. It was a critical time, when we didn’t know anything to do, but at the time was a necessary lever to pull. But Alhamdulillah, by the grace of God, I have more clarity, humility, and better sense of direction, as I look back to return to university.
