Who do I Know? The sun’s rays glisten into my room. The curtains are no match against its glow. My eyes open swiftly. I get out of bed and proceed to the bathroom. I then brush my teeth and splash water at my face to wake myself up. Usually my mother wakes me up the morning, but she didn’t today. It isn’t the weekend. In fact, it is nearing the end of my fifth grade year. I walk into my parents room to inquire what is happening today. Why did the routine change? I see my dad has already left for work.

We drove about an hour to get to my grandparents house where we would be staying. There were large pastures and green plains. Every direction looked like it was farmland. It was very new compared to the suburbs where we lived. The land was rural from the airport to my grandparent’s home. Finally after that long car ride I stepped out and breathed in the fresh air.

Because I was so young I replied no but he told me I should because that is how to grow up big and strong. He always sounded so cheerful when he spoke about his hobby.

People can be more in touch with their emotions once they feel like they have a stronger sense of meaning. Relationships with other people can also be stronger because of this. But why do relationships with other people matter? A human’s biological goal is to continue their existence for as long as they can. Getting to know another person on a personal level isn’t required for existence. Do close relationships with others make living life easier? To survive the longest, it is best to be with a group of people. While now, humans don’t face as many challenges as they had to hundreds of years ago, they still yearn to survive. Being a lone wanderer now doesn’t endanger a person’s existence, but it does make life seem less meaningful. Having a good connection with others means an increase in the likelihood of being with a group. This can make life easier by making people feel less lonely. If a person needs help emotionally, and they have no one to rely on, both physical and mental disorders can be formed. Many people go to psychiatrists to confide their feelings because they are feeling saddened. Children have an easier time in talking about their feelings because when releasing one 's feelings as an adult, people view it as a sign of weakness. This is why depression is stigmatized, even though it directly endangers a person’s life by forcing to think dark thoughts. Getting to know people can allow the continuation of a
