The last few days of my life have been shrouded in an unfamiliar silence, although there is a lot of noise around me, recently my world has become quiet, calm and still. The main reason for this is that my lively cousins are no longer here. They have all gone to the vast sea beach of Cox's Bazar, their absence has deepened this silence around me. As a result, naturally, I am now more or less housebound, confined to the four walls of my house.

Daily routines, going out or hanging out with friends—these are no longer happening, most of the day is spent either immersing myself in the virtual world of a game, or watching one movie after another. To be honest, the monotony of my daily life seems to have gripped me at the moment, from which I can't find a way out. Even in the midst of this monotony, my brothers are sharing their exciting travel experiences with me every day, and in their words, I can imagine the boundless expanse of the blue sea of Cox's Bazar, the golden sands running in step with the waves, the winding paths of the mountains and the dense forests of the jungle. Sometimes they enthusiastically talk about how powerful the roar of the ocean waves is, sometimes they tell exciting stories of climbing to the top of the mountain, and sometimes they describe the mysterious environment inside the jungle. Each of their descriptions touches my heart deeply and awakens my dormant imagination, but at the same time, a kind of deep emptiness is also working in my mind.
To be honest, I should have gone with them too, I didn't want to at first.

Maybe I thought I could spend time at home or I wanted to keep myself away from the hassles of travel, but now when I listen to each of their experiences, it feels like I have missed out on a lot of things in life. Because, travel is not just about going from one place to another—travel means getting to know life anew, mixing with people from different cultures, learning new things, discovering new things. Travel means finding yourself anew in the vastness of nature, we all know that our lives are very short and uncertain. We don't know how long we will live, or how much time we have. So we should discover this world as much as possible. You don't just have to read books and learn history, you have to go directly to that historical place, breathe the air there, and feel the history by stepping on that ground. I am thinking deeply now, maybe my decision was wrong. If I had gone with my brothers, I wouldn't have regretted it today. Still, this experience taught me an important lesson—you have to enjoy life whenever you get a break, go to new places, and gain new experiences. Because, many such opportunities in life do not come again and again, and if you miss these opportunities, you will only regret them in the future. Maybe this education will make me more aware for the future.
