Someone to come home to

Including myself, I've seen a great number of people struggle with opening up to others. Showing others your vulnerabilities and weaknesses is impenetrable. But we as humans won't survive exclusively even if we do manage to deal with the bunch of emotions alone we won't be satisfied. We're meant to depend on others. We're meant to love. We need support. Each one of us at some point feels the desperation of having someone who's all for us.  We judge ourselves according to others, comments on our actions.

If I feel good for an hour a day, and horrible for the rest of the day, am I happy? What if I am happy for eight hours a day and miserable for the rest of the sixteen hours? Am I a happy person? For most of us, happiness is a state that is not permanent. We are not happy throughout the day. At least the majority of us are not. What do you think happiness is? Happiness means a sense of deep contentment. A cheerful outlook. An attitude of positive thoughts. A person who has these qualities is happy at all times of the day. How about celebrities then? They have names, fame, and wealth. They can buy whatever they desire, no matter the quantity. Their name is splashed around in the media most of the time. Every news about them is awaited by the general population. Celebrities may not have been born with a silver spoon in their mouth, but the current spoon is mostly
