You're happy with it, so be it; but being one who has struggled their whole life, lost many friends and relatives through unfortunate deaths, overdoses or suicides - I find it sort of offensive that others are unable to cope with things which are not that significant. I have also been broken up with by a person who I was with for seven years; I was certain they were going to be with me for the rest of my life, and when it ended it was terrible. But I picked myself up and moved on. But I suppose those who are lucky enough to hardly experience many horrors (if any) in their life, do not build up a resistance to the pain and suffering.
