As long as you find your happiness, does it matter if others do? That’s just the thing! Happiness for most is happiness of others as well. We are not us without our friends, after all.

^{Without your friends you’re nothing}, not quite. Without your friends you’re half of something — we only learn who we are through social interaction, after all.

What good does isolation do? Play in the sun, get tanned, or burnt, get sea salt in your mouth and sand in your hair. These little inconveniences make life so much sweeter — There’s nothing better than a shower after a beach day, there’s nothing better than gazing upon the smiling face of the ones you love most and knowing you’ll hang out again soon, there’s nothing better than kissing your pet on its little forehead knowing it doesn’t understand but loving it anyway.

There’s nothing better than being alive!
