I Never Shut Up Anyway!

(This episode is in English) These past nine months have been nothing short of spectacular. This podcast, these people I met through it, the guests on it, and everything in between has meant the entire world to me. I cannot even begin to speak about the doors it has opened, in me and in my world. So I won't. I wouldn't know what to say, anyway. All I know is that I arrived here because of it, and I don't think I've ever been happier (touch wood). This episode is finally the QnA you have been asking for, but in my own way. Because I cannot, for the life of me, speak about only myself for that long. I put a few question stickers up on Instagram and Yaseen and I sat and recorded this on Valentine's day. Thank you, for everything.
