After years of research, writing, and endless cups of coffee, I’m thrilled to share a milestone that feels both surreal and deeply fulfilling — I have officially completed my Doctorate in Philosophy (Literature).
Earning this degree has been far more than an academic achievement; it has been a journey of self-discovery, perseverance, and passion. There were moments of doubt, late nights of reading and reflection, and times when the path ahead seemed endless. But through every challenge, I found new strength — not only in my research but also in myself.
Philosophy and literature have always fascinated me because they speak to the essence of what it means to be human. My doctoral journey allowed me to explore the intersections of thought, emotion, and expression — to ask questions about meaning, beauty, and truth, and to listen deeply to the voices of writers and thinkers who came before us.
This accomplishment is not just my own. It’s a reflection of the guidance of my mentors, the unwavering support of my family and friends, and the quiet determination that kept me going even when the finish line felt far away.
To anyone who is on a similar path — whether you’re pursuing your studies, building a career, or chasing a dream that seems out of reach — remember this: progress is rarely a straight line. Every step, every setback, and every small victory is part of your story. Keep moving forward, even when the destination seems distant. You will get there.
As I close this chapter and look forward to new beginnings, I carry with me a deep sense of gratitude and purpose. The journey has taught me that true learning never ends — it simply evolves.
Here’s to growth, resilience, and the courage to keep questioning, creating, and believing.
