I hadn't traveled since the beginning of 2020 when COVID became a serious threat, but last week I finally hit the roads again.The reason was to attend the funeral of a close relative.Although I had been to railway stations and airports for pickups and drops, it had been a long time since I had actually traveled.

I've had a one-of-a-kind journey this year, just like many others in countries impacted by the pandemic.With lots of free time and the chance to discover new passions, I've chosen to write this post for my friends, fellow explorers, and anyone feeling down about life during and after COVID-19.My goal is to offer some helpful advice to those still stuck at home, so they can find a way to break free from loneliness and isolation.

The last few years have been a hard row to harrow on every humankind.Now, when  the dust has settled and winds of a change back to normalcy are blowing fast, we are almost about to say goodbye to the pandemic.The impact of prolonged lockdowns and economic perils had visible signs on faces .

"sir, which terminal your flight is at?", asked the driver and I suddenly came out of my deep thoughts.We arrived and I moved inside the airport, through security and found a seat  near the boarding gate.Curious to know how people around are behaving , I looked around to find who  my co-passengers were and how could those be reacting to the opening  of travels  post the lockdown.There were people from different walks of life with varying  experiences it seemed.

Some of them may have had a good trip and a fantastic vacation uphills in Mussoorie and may have spent some unforgettable times at the beautiful and scenic mountain resorts of the area.Some of them may have vacationed in the camps of Yamunotri and Tehri Lake.

There were a few teenagers , perhaps siblinggs  and friends talking with their parents and relatives .Their intricate interactions were suggestive of a closely knit community caring for each other, carrying each other together and laughing and smiling a lot in the whole process .Suddenly I starting feeling good about the persistent vibes around.

Is that what living life full size is about?Am I about to stereotype an ethnic group as messiahs of life secrets and happiness by just observing a bunch of folks that too just for a very little while?You can ask yourself that question a hundred different ways, but the answer will always be the same: Yes.

Are you living a life brimming with fulfillment and joy, or are you battling relentless struggle and misery?The simple act of engaging with these words reveals a remarkable truth: Your education equips you with the power to make choices that can lead you to a life filled with blissful contentment.

You are not defined by your ethnic background, your religious faith, or where you come from, you are defined by your actions and how you take every passing moment and reflect on it.A little smile, laughter and positive actions start sending lovable vibes, the vibes of happiness !If you take those small steps and learn to love yourself, you will begin to live life full size.This is what happiness is , ain't it?

You will acquire the knowledge of living a life enriched with hope, positivity, and joy.Discovering the ability to forgive others and embracing self-acceptance is the essence of truly living life to its fullest.

A realisation that there is no such thing as perfection, drastically changes someone's perspective.We should strive to be our best and to achieve that goal, we must accept ourselves the way we are and forgive ourselves when we fall short of perfection.Happiness starts seeping in  rightaway !

It's important to know what is expected of us, but we shouldn't let these expectations bring us down.Instead, we should take pride in what we have achieved and use our mistakes as lessons for growth.Through these experiences, we should learn to embrace and appreciate ourselves just the way we are.

To be Happy is to put yourself first and let go of your pride and start living in the moment !Lets start now !
