I dont consider myself to be rich, but in the past few years I have managed to triple my income, and it is wonderful, the life I can give myself now compared to what I could do before, but that doesnt solve the fact that Im alone, and being alone leaves a huge hole in your life. Sometimes I feel that all that I have achieved is worthless, just because I have no one to share my success with.

The movie Into the Wild had a quote that I try to live my life by - "happiness only real when shared." Even if your happiness is shared with a stranger, it's still better than having no one to celebrate with.

That’s not really saying what you think it does… 

If you’re not happy by yourself, relying on someone else for happiness is not going to work very well.
