It’s funny how the little things make me happy. A smile, a cigarette, someone from long ago saying hello. These are the things which keep my spirits up. I guess I always claimed I dont rely on my friends that much, but I do. Teter is probably my closest real life friend, my other core group is my EQ friends. I know people on there from all over…London, Prague, Denmark, etc. I know poeple from all over the states too. It brings such a smile to my face to see a phone call on my Caller ID from some other area code…or to get a tell from a friend.
Case in point…Lotte. I stay up late waiting for her to wake up…and I always get a big grin when she sends me that first IM : “AARON!!!!”. God, I cant wait…less than a month… It’s gonna be so nice. I used to dream of just slipping away…not telling my family…my friends…starting life anew. That was my dream for a long time…to go to Europe and live it up. Too bad I got realistic 
.. But still, I’ve never been outside the US…and I’m really looking forward to this. God…I hope everything goes well. Kinda suck to have such a close friend as Lotte, and not work out IRL. Thats the chance we take though I guess…and I’m going for broke!
I promised Lotte I woudl get to sleep…..so I leave you with this :
Consider the following. We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others’ actions. We survive here in dependence on others. Whether we like it or not, there is hardly a moment of our lives when we do not benefit from others’ activities. For this reason it is hardly surprising that most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.
