      😭😭😭Back in the days when no one believed in me — not even sometimes myself — those moments hurt deeply. But they also carved something powerful inside me: fire.

      There were times I would walk into rooms and feel invisible… times when my ideas were laughed at, my dreams brushed off as “too big,” or “not for people like us.” I remember people saying, “That one? He won’t go far.” I was just a boy from a small place, with worn-out shoes and dreams that seemed impossible.

      But here’s the truth: every “no,” every doubt, every silence pushed me harder. It taught me that belief doesn’t have to come from others first — it starts within. I began to talk to myself differently: “You are meant for something. You are not your background. You are becoming.”
