In a few minutes it will be my birthday and I will turn 26.
Am happy to be alive and that my eyes haven't deteriorated to a level where i have to stop reading, and hope 2020 will be good year to me.

I wish all the best to all the great people i met here and i hope you never stop reading and learning.
Not to brag, but we actually planted coffee at my farm and cousins farm, and it did really grow, and here you are witnessing first coffee seeds from Somaliland.

I wish i could write some cheerful things but unfortunately my reality is too ugly to fake it.
I wanted to take a loan from Islamic bank in Hargeisa to buy Macbook air M1 the moment I discovered their interest rate is 24% i gave up.
