Friendship doubles joy

This proverb means that if you have good friends then that will make you more joyful and it will also make you less sad and you will not grieve as much. This summer, my life wasn't really all that great. Both of my grandpas were sick and in and out of the hospital. My brother is going through a really hard time. The guy I dated for almost 3 years broke up with me for no reason at all, or at least he didn't give me one. My life just kinda turned upside down and I felt as if I was all alone. I stayed in my room for almost 2 weeks straight, only getting up to eat or to use the bathroom. Then... one day some of my friends came over and pulled me out of bed and made me get up and continue on with my life. This proverb rings true in my situation. Although I didn't really want to get up and move on, when I finally got that extra push from those who care about me the most, I realized that life actually was going to be alright. They showed me that even though one chapter had ended, that a new one was always waiting to be started. Now I'm on a new chapter of my life and everything is great. I now have a new outlook on the way things turn out also. As long as I give my best and I know that I did all I can possibly do, then the rest is out of my hands, and there is no need wondering what might have been.
