A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Not enough adults are understanding that they have to create moments of happiness in their lives. Find things to be excited about. Create plans to look forward to. Decorate the house during holidays. Make a playlist you only listen to on Tuesdays. Keep your favorite snacks stocked in case of a bad day. You have more control over your joy than you think.

If you are not physically there, you don't "exist".
This has really messed up a lot of relationships..
