exploring topics, take two

i haven't finished reading, but i know if i don't write this down now, i'll forget it later. i'm going to briefly document this idea as well so i can expand on it later. i'd like to look into how relationships also affect us as people (that's very broad, i know). i'm not sure if i'd like to research how holding and sustaining healthy relationships may or may not have a large impact on our mental stability/perception of "happiness", or if it allows us to focus our time, or if it just generally elevates our mood. that part will be for later.
