Dan Savage, a well-known writer, media pundit, and LGBTQ+ activist, has long been an advocate for the idea that happiness does not have to come from fame, wealth, or living in a big city. In fact, he has often spoken out against the pressure society places on young people to achieve these things in order to be considered successful or happy.

Savage has been vocal about the importance of finding happiness in everyday life, regardless of one's social status or financial situation. He believes that true happiness comes from within, and that it is possible to lead a fulfilling life without conforming to society's narrow definitions of success.
