    It's normal. You just want to be happy like that too.

    They say dont compare your insides to other peoples outside...in other words, you never know what other people are dealing with...they may be very unhappy too at times

    I'm just like you. In fact peoples sadness makes me happy especially when I'm causing it. So yeah you and me are the same.

    Actually, that rather resonates with me, especially in regards to my youth. I'll probably get shit from some people for that, but it's true.

    If I'm feeling down, it always lifts my spirits when I see happy people. There's nothing more heartening than a smile from a stranger.
