Mother, father, son, daughter. Husband, wife, partner, friend.

These are the one word descriptions that tell the stories of our lives. When we come together as family, as friends, as lovers, we become more than the sum of our parts. We're the most successful of all the animals on our planet because we are the most social. And that is why each of us is inextricably bound to others. In the end those social connects, those bonds are what it's all about.

When they are strong, we are happy.
When they are threatened, we worry.
When they disappear, we suffer.

In many ways navigating the social world is more complicated than a voyage to the moon, but it's the journey we have to take. Because whether we like it or not our happiness is in each others hands.
