“The problem is that everything is relative. Happiness is based on expectations and we have the internet now. A whole world constantly asking us, "But is your life as perfect as this? Well, how about now? Is it as perfect as this? If it isn't, change it!!"

So, if the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, that's probably because it's full of shit.”
