You generate your own happiness. To rely on another for it is not only leaving yourself very vulnerable and open to disappointment, but it’s also a huge burden on to place on another – the responsibility of making you happy.

As she tells me about yet another beau, I can already tell it’s going to end in tears. Hers. But why can’t she just see this?
