Nagoya 2025 | Home Video Style Vlog
Every year, for my parents' anniversary, we like to go on adventures. This year, it was to the beautiful areas of Nagoya, Takayama, and Kyoto.
30th birthday minidump.
Just wanted to thank everyone who's cared and given me the space to grow these past three decades. You constantly remind me that there is good and love in the world--and that it's in me, too.
It's in the honor of experiencing our bad times together so that our good times feel more special.
It's in the dreams we never quite reach, and the dreams we do. You are the reason it is worth dreaming for.
If you're reading this, I'm probably writing about you.
I hope I grow into something that you continue to enjoy in your lives. 🎉
Happy 30th birthday, Malik! Here are ten ways you make life sparkling (or kirari, as inspired by Fuji Kaze):
✨ the way your eyes wrinkle when you laugh
✨ the way your hugs feel like home
✨ the way you passionately partake in your nerdy hobbies
✨ the way you love capturing memories through photos and videos
✨ the way you can make people feel heard and safe
✨ the way the world feels bigger with your wonder and curiosity
✨ the way you can take setbacks with grace
✨ the way you find joy in the little things
✨ the way you don’t take life too seriously
✨ the way you give it your all in everything that you do
May every day continue sparkling amidst the chaos and challenges in life. Love you, always. ❤️
