Thoughts on posts like these: "Hey look! I'm happy now because I'm drinking, partying, and can have tatoos!"

Thank you for all of this. Helps me understand.

just understand that it probably shouldn't be the SOLE reason as to why you leave.

I think this is what I want to see every time someone makes these types of posts. I just want to see the bigger picture of the person, so that I can see that there is a lot more to the story than the partying. I guess I want to see the full spectrum of the amazing positive change in their life rather that a tiny piece of it that on its own comes across as shallow, but probably only comes across that way to me because I'm not assuming all the other awesome reasons for that person's happiness that aren't included in the post. It's on me to give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks again.
