You had to live in your own bubble. You couldn't force your way into someone else's, because then it wouldn't be a bubble any more.

About This Quote

Your own space is important. If you want to be happy, you have to have your own place where you can be yourself. This does not mean that you have to have no contact with the outside world, but it does mean that you need to take care of yourself first. The bubble is your own space, your own personality, your own life, your own ideas... You cannot force yourself into someone else's bubble.
