Happiness is about a delicate balance of giving and taking, independence and interdependence, holding on and letting go. It doesn't come solely from within oneself, even though the foundation of true happiness must commence from within.

We can pretend all day long that we don't need others and don't care what other people think, but the truth is we all need people in our lives who validate us. We must make sure to seek validation from the right people, though...our loved ones, those we know on a personal, deep level...those who have our best interests at heart. And we must provide the same to them in return.
