"You Shouldn't Rely On Other People For Your Happiness."

What the fuck? So what are you supposed to rely on for your happiness? Your classes? Your major? This consumer culture around us? It's a lot easier to make that sort of pronouncement when you have a career and significant other (although lord knows those can be far flung indicators of happiness).

Life is about loving. Not 'loving life' in that corny Hallmark way, but loving the people around you and them loving you back. All we've really got is each other, bundled together on spinning mass of rock, hurtling through space and time.

I hate UCLA. I hate Los Angeles. I hate living in America. I thought I had more to say on this topic, but I don't really. Best leave it then; brevity is the essence of... oh never mind.

(The quote is what my mom said to me on my 21st Birthday.)
