It's easy to lose sight of it especially in times like these, however, we must hold on to our inner joy for dear life. As I looked at this picture while rolling through committee after committee during our MUN conference, I smiled. I wanted to find this same joy that I saw on his face. Don't get me wrong, I love time with my family and catching up with others, but it's that carefree moment where you are living in the moment. We've battled through 2020 and in that fight, we've lost one of the things we treasure the most. While we may be limited by the pandemic, we can also find a way to do what brings us the most happiness. As for me, while the world of traveling has come to a halt, being able to communicate with my friends abroad and look back at the wonderful adventures has filled the void of the joy that I lost. As while I may not gain it all back until I can float around again, for now, it's a great consolation prize. In times of such discouragement, let's look for joy even if they are small specks among a larger canvas. We all need joy and a little bit of hope, as that will keep us moving forward and eventually finding our way to what we lost along the way. For now, let's smile, let's laugh and let's do what we can within the guidelines until we are carefree once again, living our lives without worries and without regrets.
