Just a quick (and maybe bi***y, maybe gushing, maybe useless) opinion on that happened on the week that went by

Last week also brought with it the news of the suicide of chef and anchor Anthony Bourdain, and I just couldn't believe it. I have been a fan of his ever since his show No Reservations, and it was on my bucket list to one day, bump into him at his New York restaurant.

I think I even sent him a letter to that address. Yes, I was crushing so hard, and he always seemed like the epitome of cool to me. And though I was saddened by the news, I asked myself: what does it take to keep a person happy enough to not want to kill themselves? We think money, fame, travel, the good life, even the love of the one we love, will save us. But Tony had it all, and he still decided to end it. Why? Do we need to reassess the essentials needed for true happiness? Maybe we do. Maybe we need to just be happy with what we have, and not make a list of "If I have this, I will be happy..." Maybe whatever extra we get is just a cherry on the top of the cake we already have. Maybe? Let me know what you think?
