There was a time last year where I was the only one single from my group of friends. I had never been in a relationship before (still haven't) which is why I didn't long to be in one, it is complete unknown territory to me. However, it was inevitable to want a relationship when that was the only thing I saw around me. Plus, it gets lonely sometimes. Life gets so monotonous that you just want somebody to come into your life and change it forever. I saw my friends so happy and I said to myself "When will I be that happy?" It's been six months and I'm still not that type of happy (note that type of happy because there are many other sources of happiness), but I did learn that, in order to find happiness, first you have to rejoice in other's happiness.

Over the course of that year, I managed to photograph some of that happiness. However, these photographs don't do justice to the euphoric feeling of that moment. (Some of these couples are no longer together, but that doesn't change the way they felt when these photographs were taken).
