The friend who lets your happiness be uncomplicated has offered a rare kind of company.

Good news often gets met with caution rather than delight. Someone adds a comparison, a warning, a note about what could still go wrong, and you end up managing their reaction to your luck. A friend who simply enjoys it with you is doing something harder than it looks, because it asks them to have nothing at stake in your being smaller. That kind of company is worth noticing.

Think about who you tell first when something goes well, and why it is them. Then try being that person for somebody else this week, with no caveat attached.
