How I Really Live After a Layoff | From Software Engineer to Starting Over

How I really live after a layoff. Hi, I'm Surbhi. 30-year-old software engineer, a few months ago, I was laid off from my s/f engineering job and moved to a new city to start over. Now I am rebuilding my life while also documenting my journey here on Youtube. Finding happiness in ordinary moments through small acts this is important for me. Channels I enjoy: @zazainchina & @ShylasChineselife This video is about finding joy in the ordinary moments that quietly shape everyday life. It begins with a peaceful rainy morning, followed by caring for houseplants and learning patience through the small mistakes of life. A warm cup of tea, a walk through the local market, and the fresh beauty of the city after the rain become simple moments to slow down and enjoy. The day ends by cooking a homemade paneer rice pulao and reflecting on how happiness often isn't found in big achievements, but in these everyday experiences that we usually overlook. What does happiness look like for you? Is it a quiet morning, a cup of tea, spending time with family, cooking your favorite food, or just enjoying a simple moment? I would love to know. How you spend your days and what little things bring you happiness. Feel free to share with me in the comments. Thank you so much for being here and spending this time with me.
