I like traveling. I've been to some beautiful places. I've been miserable in some beautiful places, too.
Why was I miserable? The one that stands out was the time that I expected the place to make me happy. Real happiness isn't in a place. A place is not enough.
By the way, real happiness isn't in another person, either. People can't make other people happy for very long. So the problem isn't that you've got the wrong people with you.
(And if you're going to ask me where it is, my answer is that it's in knowing Jesus Christ, and nowhere else. That's my experience. )
