Find your happy ending

What a year we have had; it has all the makings of a perfect Bollywood movie. There’s Romance, Action, Separation, Anxiety, Drama, and of course, Thrill. When we started the year, who knew that we’d spend all our time, behind closed doors, afraid to go out and talk to anyone? The drama started in March when most Governments announced lockdown. Most of Q2, went in Separation, with the Lockdowns, with different modes of media trying to entertain us. For people living alone away from family, anxiety was our constant companion. As we started to live in the house constantly, there was a lot of friction with our kids and spouses, which resulted in a lot of Action. But eventually, as we got used to the “New Normal”, we started enjoying a few things which we hated or “didn’t get time” to do earlier, like cooking, gardening, or entertaining ourselves indoors, which led to a Romantic phase in our lives. From sharing our cookbooks on YouTube to starting our own ventures on the side. But after a year of Drama, what is next in the new phase of humanity?

After spending time in knowing ourselves and our loved ones again, now it’s time to focus on ourselves. It’s time to evaluate where we are, and what we want to achieve. It’s time to focus on the “Why”. It’s time to start working towards our happy ending. They always say the thrill of life is in living and not leaving. So, it is now time to try and figure out, where we stand in terms of where we aspired to be, and who we’re truly meant to be. At the end of Avengers: Endgame, Thor had spent 5000 years before finally deciding to understand who he was meant to be, but we don’t have so long, and hence, the time to start deciding is now. It’s time to take charge of our lives. It’s time to try and become who were always meant to be. For me, the process of trying to figure out where I fit has already started. For me, my happy ending is on the path I have set myself on, what about you?
