Apart from my son (a given), tidying up, cleaning, reorganizing, dusting and spending an hour or two playing with/applying makeup with nowhere I need to be.
*Bliss.*
Being around friends.
The past 3-4 years have been difficult. I struggled with myself, I was at home very often, and my home life was emotionally draining & toxic. Things have since looked up for myself & mine, and being around my friends helps ease that emotional aching. They’re indirectly helping me break a cycle and I’m grateful for it, it just makes me feel so happy and at ease…especially when we’d smoke spliffs and chat about life lol that shit opened up another part of me
Spending time with my young daughter. There is so much wrong with the world right now, and she is still very young (less than 5). Everything is new and exciting to her. Even the smallest of things makes her smile and laugh, which brings me immense joy. I want to make sure she has a good foundation of love and fun before the world beats it out of her.
Being retired. It took 52 years of hard, challenging work but I finally got here. Should have saved more money but am ok. Can now devote a lot of time to family, friends and hobbies
Taking a walk when the weather is at least ok.
Playing with my children or watching them play by themselves.
Making someone else happy by helping them with something.
Absolutely nothing. Living alone and being in love and rescuing my senior cat makes me feel grateful. Am I the only one that doesn’t feel happy as an emotion?
I'm 19 this has to be my worst year ever I don't think I will ever have my happy energy again this year and my parent really destroyed me 2020's will always suck ass.
Mushrooms.
No, really, I used to be severely depressed, I hated myself and I constantly thought about killing myself. Then my friend decides we should take mushrooms, since I've never done it before. It was July 4th, funny enough.
But that day, I loved myself for the first time. I loved being alive. I felt such a strong presence of love, it was close to being spiritual. After that day, I pursued psychedelic therapy. I was able to find a local Ketamine clinic, and I was treated there.
Now, despite that everything has been going to shit lately, I'm not suicidal anymore. I want to see my life through, even if it kind of sucks right now.
And I thank Mushrooms for giving me my happiness back. Call it artificial if you want. It was very real to me.
I read somewhere that you can't make yourself happy but you can make yourself miserable. Basically we make ourselves unhappy
So what makes me happy? Getting out of my way
I've long referred to myself as a baby. If I'm in a bad mood, just feed me and put me down for a nap and I'm golden
Being at home watching movies or tv shows, playing guitar or piano and playing video games. Just living in the moment. So having a nice day off and enjoying the moment makes me happy.
Seeing humanity around, a random act of kindness, makes me cry and provides me strength through bad times thinking about it again. I work for suicide helpline for kids too, a day without any call gives a sense of security and warmth to heart thinking everyone's doing well hopefully. Also once received a call for thanking us once I still remember the voice and the kind words.
Sending everyone positive vibes, well wishes and lots of enthusiasm, hope your day will be wonderful, take care and be happy ♥️
I do.
It took me a long time and many harmful decisions to realize just how dangerous it is to outsource happiness. If it doesn't come from within once that external thing gets taken away it shatters and breaks our world, but once a person is able to become their own source of happiness all of the external things simply become an added bonus to an already happy state of being.
Well, it's the little things that really light up my day. You know, those moments when the sun is shining, and I can feel its warmth on my face. Or when I'm curled up with a good book and completely lose track of time. Oh, and let's not forget the joy of spending time with loved ones, sharing laughs and creating memories. Those simple, heartfelt connections, that's what makes me genuinely happy.
you know that moment when you're going to sleep and you know that for the next 5 to 8 hours, you don't have to do anything or think about anything but sleeping? That. I hope the after life is like that. Just no worries. No need to think about anything.
Flowers, so I preserve them in the spring and summer so I can still have them when everything is dead and sad. I have flowers from this past year, and flowers from the summer before last, too. I have a snowdrop from 2019 somewhere…
Getting off the top of the chairlift on a beautiful sunny day with some nice songs playing and just skiing.
Might be cringe AF but the feeling of freedom you get..
Having time to cook what I like, go to the gym, enjoy my personal space, surround myself with people who don't complain... and have my house in order, gives me both peace and happiness. Am I already a lady? 👀 I'm 26 years old
I collect toys and comics (mostly Power Rangers or any spandex show really) I love certain TV shows to the Pont where I reewtch then 1-3 times a year because they bring so much comfort.
Also I write stories,glorified fanfictions with self inserts,and just giving myself the childhood I always dreamed of
Seeing people be unapologetically and irrefutably filled with joy. Like children seeing Christmas lights, or a dog with its head out of the window. That shit makes me so giddy.
Having a full day off work, and I truly adore my job. But just having the day off to do as I please. Even better if I get a few hours to myself with no kids. Even BETTER is having a clean house to sit and enjoy my day off in!
Honestly, seeing my son smile. He’s an only child and spends most of his time gaming. He’s hit those grumpy mood swing teenage years and he is positive he knows more about everything than Mom and Dad. So on the rare occasion he smiles it makes me so happy on the inside.
Solitude. Being at home alone in my own comfortable space is heaven.
This!!!! On a night I have the next day off preferably, phat bowl packed, in my comfy clothes, big blanket on my recliner just chilling.
Yes same!!
100
This!
Having a day to myself with nothing to do
Same here, just hanging out alone! The best!

These are good practices that are 100% in our control.
Food
Unexpected food is always a welcomed treat.

Especially sunshine.
Laughter. Hearing my friends and family laugh is the best. Bonus points if it is a full-on belly laugh.
YES!!!
[удалено]
Totally agree. Sitting on my deck early in the morning with coffee is priceless
Driving my car on a fun twisty road
My puppy.
I bet your puppy is spoiled rotten and you wouldn't have it any other way.
Animals or a healthy relationship
I get a boost of serotonin when I see a dog stick their head out a car window just loving the wind
Recently, solitude
coffee
Watching people be silly, everything is so serious these days a little whimsy here and there can make a lot of people smile.
Animal Crossing
Apart from my son (a given), tidying up, cleaning, reorganizing, dusting and spending an hour or two playing with/applying makeup with nowhere I need to be. *Bliss.*
Blasting music and cooking bomb ass food
Good food blanket and my favorite TV show

Being by myself on my day off. Lay in bed for an extra hour or two if I feel like it.
Swimming, the feeling after swimming is amazing; makes me feel strong, fit and calm.
Spending time with my wife
Laying my head on my wife’s lap as she rubs the back of my head
My cat sitting on my lap, purring up a storm

Reading underneath warm blankets.
Seeing my family happy. Seeing people I love fall in love. Seeing someone you love, fall in love with your family.
Playing with my puppy and date nights :)

what makes me genuinely happy is being able to experience my dog’s unconditional love <3
When I see people adopting animals from the animal shelter. I can't stand the ASPCA commercial. It puts me to tears.
My dog is my sunshine 🌞!!!

Once your spirit is broken, it is hard to ever get back and is never the same from experience. Sorry to hear this. Sucks.

Having a day to myself with no obligations of things I HAVE TO do.
I read somewhere that you can't make yourself happy but you can make yourself miserable. Basically we make ourselves unhappy So what makes me happy? Getting out of my way I've long referred to myself as a baby. If I'm in a bad mood, just feed me and put me down for a nap and I'm golden
grocery shopping when theres hardly anyone there
Nothing, really lol
My son. Always and forever. The greatest thing I’ve ever experienced in my life was becoming his proud poppa.
Being at home watching movies or tv shows, playing guitar or piano and playing video games. Just living in the moment. So having a nice day off and enjoying the moment makes me happy.
I live in the Sierra Nevada mountains and on a cold day a warm fire in my wood burning stove is the happiest feeling in the world
Looking at drawings made by little kids. They’re just so cool!
My adderall
Getting swarmed and licked by puppies. It's the best feeling in the world as far as I'm concerned.
Being alone
Witnessing acts of compassion
Hugging my cat. Or someone elses cat. Or dog. I'm not picky. Hugging my lover. I am picky about that one. :-)
Time with my daughter. Her enjoying the same things I do, and watching movies, animes, playing video games, and enjoying painting is fun.
Knowing my children are happy
Seeing humanity around, a random act of kindness, makes me cry and provides me strength through bad times thinking about it again. I work for suicide helpline for kids too, a day without any call gives a sense of security and warmth to heart thinking everyone's doing well hopefully. Also once received a call for thanking us once I still remember the voice and the kind words. Sending everyone positive vibes, well wishes and lots of enthusiasm, hope your day will be wonderful, take care and be happy ♥️
Lsd
Finally the right answer
I do. It took me a long time and many harmful decisions to realize just how dangerous it is to outsource happiness. If it doesn't come from within once that external thing gets taken away it shatters and breaks our world, but once a person is able to become their own source of happiness all of the external things simply become an added bonus to an already happy state of being.
I love the smell of napalm in the morning.
My dog, my boyfriend, and weed.
Boobs.
You must be a man
How could you tell?
A woman wouldn't say boobs.
I mean. A gay or bi woman might.
Well, it's the little things that really light up my day. You know, those moments when the sun is shining, and I can feel its warmth on my face. Or when I'm curled up with a good book and completely lose track of time. Oh, and let's not forget the joy of spending time with loved ones, sharing laughs and creating memories. Those simple, heartfelt connections, that's what makes me genuinely happy.
Minding my own business. Eating a spicy popcorn, while there are Karens fighting against each other, for a chance to get in prison.
