The Rodia Edit October 22 · Birthday Issue

Chapter 01 Birthday

Happy Birthday, Rodia.

A little matcha, a lot of love, and a few things I wanted you to know.

This is for you
that smile, though 🤎

Chapter 02 The Edit

The little things that make you, you.

No. 01 The yapping sessions. Somehow, I’m always ready to listen.
No. 02 The love for brown. A woman with taste. I understand completely.
No. 03 The organisation videos. Making getting your life together look so satisfying.
No. 04 The matcha commitment. At this point, it deserves its own birthday invitation.
No. 05 The warmth you bring. The reason your notifications stay on.

A quiet appreciation

Almost three years of watching, and still looking forward to the next upload.

“I discovered your content almost three years ago, and somewhere along the way, your videos became a familiar, comforting part of my days. Your updates, your little routines, your yapping sessions—I look forward to them all. Thank you for sharing those pieces of your world with us.”

Chapter 03 A little matcha moment

A little matcha, a little reminder.

Tap the cup. There’s something sweet for you.

  1. “You make ordinary days feel a little lighter.”
  2. “Your notifications are on for a reason.”
  3. “The little things you share mean more than you might realise.”
  4. “I hope today gives you plenty of reasons to smile.”
  5. “May this year be full of good news and really good matcha.”
  6. “You deserve the kindness you give so freely.”

Chapter 04 Duas for your new year

A few duas, just for you.

For the things you share, and the hopes you keep between you and Allah.

  • “May Allah fill your heart with peace, ease your worries, and grant you rest that leaves you feeling renewed.”

  • “May Allah bless you with good health, strength, and many beautiful years with the people you love.”

  • “May Allah place barakah in your time, your work, your provision, and every good thing He has entrusted to you.”

  • “May Allah protect you and your loved ones from harm, guide your steps, and surround you with sincere people.”

  • “May Allah accept your duas, grant you what is best for you, and bring you goodness beyond what you know to ask for.”

  • “May this new year bring lasting happiness, beautiful opportunities, and moments you will remember with gratitude.”

Ameen.

Chapter 05 A letter for Rodia

Something to read slowly.

For Rodia, with love.

22 · 10 · Birthday

Happy birthday, Rodia!

I know it might not be midnight where you are yet, but it’s already the 22nd here, and I wanted to send you some birthday love.

I discovered your content almost three years ago, and you’ve become such a comforting presence in my little corner of the internet. Your notifications are on for a reason! I look forward to your videos, your updates, your yapping sessions, your organisation content, and all the little things you share with us.

From your matcha obsession to your love for brown, which I very much relate to, there’s so much to love about you.

You’re such a light, and I hope you know how much warmth you bring to people you’ve never even met. Sometimes, watching you is just that lovely, familiar part of the day that makes everything feel a little lighter.

As you begin this new year, may Allah bless you with good health, peace of mind, barakah, and so many reasons to smile. May He protect you and everyone you love, accept your duas, and grant you the beautiful things your heart quietly hopes for. May your efforts bear fruit, your joy be lasting, and may you receive the same kindness you put into the world.

I hope this year brings you everything you’ve been praying and working for, alongside beautiful surprises you didn’t even know to ask for. You deserve to feel loved, celebrated, and cared for too.

Happy birthday, Rodia. Thank you for being you and for sharing little pieces of your world with us. Here’s to more happiness, more fulfilled dreams, and plenty of matcha!

With love, Beloved Someone whose notifications are always on.
