Well said Prefab. I think there is most certainly a correlation between happiness and deep connection with someone(s).
I saw something else online today, that said that "when you connect with people who are good for you, you feel it. This is a big deal. acknowledge it. Your people love your weirdness." I just really liked it, and your post made me think of it.
Currently, I do not always have close relationships like this everyday. But there are people like this in my life, and I have had them in the past too. I have hope for more closeness, deeper closeness, and having my own partner in the future. <3
I'm happy for you that you have your husband

I see you post about him a lot in the gratitude thread on social.
