The Eighty-First: Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall

I don't surround myself with people I don't like. Sounds simple enough, but if I don't like someone, I won't keep them around. I quit a job because of a sexist, idiotic manager. Everyone always says that there is "that" person in every job. Well you know what? I disagree. I think that if you find a workplace with enough like-minds, then you won't encounter such loveless people. I'm thinking about this because of my exploits from the past few weeks in Sydney and Adelaide.

They weren't the most spectacular trips in terms of destinations, but they were so incredibly fun and joyous because of the people that I was with. Sure, the places that we went to and the things we saw did make up a part of the experience, but I often wonder what the point of travelling alone is. You make new friends along the way, in which case you're only momentarily travelling alone until you get new company. Everybody needs others to share their journeys. Insert quote about how it's not what you do in life, it's who you do it with. If this is the case and really, I know it is, then I am going to be living a seriously great life, full of people constantly making fucking idiots of themselves and laughing about it.

The organic feeling of happiness that comes with making amazing new friends is irreplaceable.
