The pandemic had an undeniable impact on the lives of every person on the planet. It forced a change in how we lived: milestones were marked without loved ones, isolation separated friends and family, and future planning became unfathomable when so much was uncertain.
But the past three years also offered people the opportunity to rethink their values and priorities, break old habits and start new ones. Embracing change feels like a worthy antidote to years of tragedy, sadness and grief. It’s no coincidence our social media feeds now feel like a constant stream of engagements, moving trucks and newly adopted pets.
