Sooooooo it's been a minute

Been a while actually lol

Hey everyone,

I hope you’ve had an awesome few months—mine have definitely been some of the most intense and eventful of my life.

• Done with A-levels (done and dusted—we loved the grind).

• Back from a cheeky trip to Paris (tons of good stories incoming).

• Busy with a 9-to-5 internship at a bank (woo-hoo).

Funny how the last two require completely opposite mindsets! Still, each experience has been amazing, and I’m truly grateful.

I’m happy to say I’m finally back to writing newsletters. As you might guess, I’ve built up a backlog of thoughts to unload into your inboxes. I hope they’ll be helpful — or at least entertaining. This will remain my slightly hidden corner for reflection (and occasional advice), and I’d love to keep the vibe we’ve had for the past two years. Got ideas? If there’s something you’d like my take on, or any advice you’d find useful, I’d be super-duper grateful for your suggestions.

In any case, I know a lot of you have asked why my rambles have gone quiet — thank you for your patience!

As always, thank you for every word read and every thought shared. Until next time!

Best wishes,

Ismail :)
