Arinze!! It’s so good to read your letters again! Despite all that 2022 was for you, I’m so happy that you found something that you were able to hold on to and create beauty out of.
It’s definitely difficult picking one lesson because they’re all so important but I drew this quote from it: “I hope you learned a little something about not letting the plans get in the way of the journey.”
Thank you again for sharing your writing and thoughts with us. Hope you have a better year ahead!
Thank you so much for reading! 2022 was a whole ass identity crisis, but something unmatched came out of that! That quote honestly stuck with me from the first time I heard it. It's such a necessary reminder. I'm excited for 2023 for us! 🤗
This was very insightful and nostalgic, Arinze. I love the way you broke this down. Thank you for being vulnerable and reminding us it’s okay to be human. Love always ♥️
Arinze, this was so good ! Ironically, despite years of watching the show, I've never paused to think about the different characters and what they represent . I adore how you dissected this and emphasized the contributions that each character made (especially sokka). Glad to have you writing again ! 🤗
Thank you, Mouna! So happy this week's story could help you appreciate the uniqueness and value of each character in the series! Also, I'm going to be in your city next month!!! Do I smell a marathon??? 😌
I love it. All of it. It is such a provoking and yet endearing piece. Someone asked me what I was doing while I was reading it and I said, “avoiding the chaos that's in my head”. But, coming to the end of this piece I'm convinced to take on this year, probing my internal chaos, revelling in it and carefully and groundedly going through it. I'm reminded that it isn't easy but, greatness doesn't emerge from ease. Thank you, Arinze.
Hey Nosa! I'm so happy to hear that you're approaching 2023 with a renewed enthusiasm! And you're right—greatness is earned, not given. Cheers to a beautiful 2023 🥂

I never thought Avatar TLA would speak to me years after watching it as a child. The fact that I could relate almost every section to a part of a life says a lot.
Thanks for sharing this. Now I need to go rewatch the show. :)
Honestly, Avatar TLA is so much more than a kids show! I wish more people knew and understood that. Thank you so much for reading! And happy rewatching!!!
Excellent article Arinze! I really enjoyed it. I loved this show growing up, and revisiting the major lessons brought a smile to my face. I hope you're well.
Thank you, Lance! I'm happy you enjoyed it. ATLA is one of the best shows ever, filled with as much fun as lessons. I'm very well! I hope you're okay too. If you're in Nairobi anytime soon, lmk
I swear, I don't know how many times I'm going to have to rewatch this show until I get sick of it. Probably never. Thank you so much for writing such an insightful article - I really loved how you condensed your analysis into little pieces of advice. It was exactly what I was hoping to read tonight!
Same! I've literally been having another extended ATLA marathon with my friends for the past month lol. I'm very humbled that this mostly inactive newsletter found you and that this piece connected with you, almost 2 years later. I hope you get to read even more exciting ATLA content over the holidays! ✨

Arinze, this is amazing and so so so true!

Thank you so much darling! With these lessons as a guiding compass, 2023 is bound to be exciting for us!!

Awww! Happy you enjoyed the read 🤗 And totally, it's okay to be human. I hope we never forget that.
