Hi everyone!! Who feels like working today? I promise I’ll let you do my work. 😄

Jokes apart, here is something serious we need to reflect on as responsible human beings. The current condition of the pandemic feels like a result of our own deeds. Who would have imagined people dying due to a shortage of oxygen? First, we cut down trees to fulfill our needs — and now planting a tree has become our need. What a powerful payback by nature.

Junk food, cold drinks, and sugary beverages had become essentials in our lives, especially among teenagers. But during the pandemic, we realized that green vegetables, fruits, and warm water are what truly boost our immunity. The trees, food, and clean water — things we once ignored — suddenly became the most valued part of our lives.

During this tough time, it’s important to stay happy. Do what makes you smile — gardening, music, singing, meditation, or simply relaxing. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is not think, not worry, not overanalyze. Just breathe and trust that everything will work out for the best.

Fun fact: I’m not bored of being quarantined. Last night, I even struck up a conversation with a spider. Turns out — he’s a web designer! 🕷️💻

This lockdown taught us valuable lessons — spending precious time with family, bonding with pets, and becoming more reliant on technology. While online education promoted digital learning, it also reminded us how essential practical, hands-on knowledge truly is. Book reading has declined as everything shifted online, leading to screen fatigue and strained eyes.

One of the most important things I’ve learned during isolation is to take care of myself and devote more time to self-love. In our busy and stressful lives, self-care is often neglected — but it is essential.

"Remember that the best life lessons are learned during hard times and when we make mistakes."

Enjoy your life and appreciate what you have. There are people in the world who have much less. Be grateful, be kind, and stay strong.

“You may not plant millions of trees, but if you can take care of one single tree with love and care, that will make you GREAT.”
