I've done most of these things, with friends, alone, and randoms. I can say without a doubt they all would have been more fulfilling if I had someone I truly cared about doing it with me. I've travelled all over the world alone and with friends, and no matter how good of a time I have the thought creeps into my head at times that I wish I had someone to share these experiences with that I had a deep/er connection with. Not saying I don't enjoy myself, it's just...different.
What fun is it remembering a trip or something funny only to have no one to chat about it with because the friend you made isn't really a friend just an associate you picked up at a hostel or online? Idk...I just don't agree with you.

All my favorite trips have been with people I love be it friends, family or ex's. I've done lots of vacations and enjoyable trips and alot of them I can't even recall until someone else starts talking about it and I'm like

But those with love ones stand out and dear to me in detail. Have a deep connection and experiences life with a love one or loves one is what its all about. But we/this generation get or kicks off on as many different highs as we can until we are damn near numb to it. Then we detox and start to die alone with out head still so far up our butts
