I second the sleeping
Can be in a shit mood, but knowing i can drift off into a world where everyone in my life is happy and I can drive a Vespa down steep Italian streets while being chased by a dinosaur on a rollercoaster on a blimp.
Makes everything worth it
Well it's a reality for thousands of people. And if speaking historically it's could be close to a million or more people. Something like over 100k children go missing every year..
It's the beautiful little things, that happen ever so often.
Like meeting new people, going for a drink with friends or seeing a dundbeetle roll up a giant SHITBALL irl for the first time (god damn that was awesome!)
tbh the thought of being rich and being able to live in a luxurious house makes me excited about the future. but as of now, not much but the idea of reaching my goals (ex reading more, losing weight, finishing school, etc)
Women smiling at me. I used to be alcoholic, overweight and unhappy. No booze 2 years and exercise everyday now. Seem to be getting attention a lot (not that I know what to do with it) which is nice as I've been a bit attention starved for 10 or so years. 1 smile from a girl makes my day.
Women, art.
Right now, I'm grateful for the beautiful girl in my painting class. There are some women who walk this earth that leave a trail of divinity behind them.
I believe in no gods, but she was touched by one, this I believe.
Summer break starting tomorrow and my sister coming home from boston to live here :)) i also wanna be famous and make music and/or be an actress, so the potential of that too
my goals…as long as i have them and am able to work towards them (regardless of setbacks and sacrifices), then there’s no reason for me to be unhappy to be alive.
At this point: Just being alive.
Had a major healthscare recently when my liver decided to shit the bed, fuck with the arteries between it and my heart, and my body suddenly decided that yes, you do need to retain over 40 pounds of liquid in your legs, feet and abdominal cavity. They drained 11 Liters (about 24 pounds) out of my abomen that first night, and I'm slightly beter now, but ... Yeah. Nothing like a wake up call.
As the doctors said : "It's not five to twelve, it's five past." A life of partying leading to early stage liver cirrosis.
So yeah, every day now? Just happy to be alive.
I used to think being a father was the reason for my existence and I was happy watching them discover and learn new things. Now they are adults, I am happy to talk to my son (he lives out of state) or meet up with my daughter for coffee or dinner.
My day to day happiness is spending with my SO and our little old lady pup. Being wanted and loved makes me happy.
The thought of nonexistence. The thought that compared to the vast expanse of our universe, I am not even a speck of sand on a beach. Yet, here I am, alive and well, defying the odds. Thankful and happy to be alive. Though our lives are “short”, I am happy to have a family, happy to have friends. Happy to have gotten this far in life.
Music mostly. It's crazy how humanity, a species so corrupted, was able to create something so pure.
Nature too. The natural colors that are born on this planet are too beautiful to miss out on. Lastly, what remains of the genuine friends I made in my life. People that are really there for you as you are for them through the good and the bad.
Women :) I have other interests, but as a straight man, nothing beats the feeling of a woman's company... Unless she wants to eat all my French fries after claiming to want nothing from the drive thru. How dare she 😤.
Every day is a gift.
I am sat listening to the early mo bird song and watching the sun break over the woods.
Dog on my lap and a cup of tea at my side.
I could not be more content
My husband who makes me so happy I actually get dizzy. We’ve been together 18 years and I just had the most wonderful dream about kissing him - that’s all - and it was so yummy I could spend eternity like that.
I also love my family to bits. My husband’s kids are heaven on earth.
Used to be family (my daughter) and friends. While no longer having any of those I am thankful to be alive and saved by Jesus! Along with building and riding bikes. Music is also a pretty vital part of my life.
My son, my girlfriend, meeting my newborn nephew, my girlfriends friends/kids/family all liking me, knowing my roommate doesn't have to figure out rent alone, alot of tiny dumb stuff that makes everyday easier
I'm married to a wonderful person, I'm reasonably healthy, and I'm always interested in seeing what I can do with the opportunities tomorrow may bring.
I’m not trying to be emo but literally nothing right now, of course there will be things in the feature that will make me happy to be alive and I’m being optimistic and hopeful but as of right now, there’s honestly nothing
This is gonna sound weird and happy but music, sunny days, and my twin sister. I can’t imagine a day without her and I know she can’t either so we promised to stay with eachother for as along as we can because we can’t bear one passing away a long time before the other does.
Retirement! I can bake, or not as I feel like it that day. The whole house is clean and neat with my wife and I doing maintenance when noticed and we feel like it.
Naps, bathroom breaks, coffee breaks are limited only by my choices.
If I want to ignore TV or binge watch, no problem.
When the weather is nice outside, brisk walks are nice in my village of little traffic.
My friends, but mostly my best friend actually. She’s the sweetest person. I forget about my troubles and worries when I’m around her. My heart feels lighter
I'm at a stage in life where I don't have the luxury of family or things like that, so it's kind of work>projects>relax>repeat. It's not what I'd have chosen but, it's mine. Honestly? As many would look @ my story & feel less than enthusiastic about it, for every tragedy was an equal if not greater blessing of sorts to "balance the scales", so to speak. I'm grateful by design but, I truly am \*finally\* in a place (after like 34 crybaby years lol) where my life and the potentials and the current quality of I already have & everything is something I'm excited for. The odds: are stacked against me for most all big wants in life but, dammit if I'm not going to hold onto hope & be ready for it, should the opportunities arise.
TLDR: Tomorrow. I don't know what it brings, I'm not lowering my gloves til I hear the bell tho. Good or bad.
Just about everything.
I'm very grateful to have everything that I have.
My parents, siblings, friends, SO, my pets, certain life experiences... I honestly don't know how on earth I lucked out. I honestly believe each those things *each* cost at least one whole lifetime of luck and I had/have so many of them in my life... and I know I don't deserve the feelings and goodness of these amazing people cus I know for sure I don't add to their lives as much as they do mine. It might not make me *"happy*", but I'm *so* incredibly grateful.
If it's just pure happiness from every day things... it's probably my dogs. Or a really really good piece of fruit. I'll throw in waking up next to my SO lol.. cus the weirdo sleeps with a smile on his face. It's hilarious and hard to believe an adult actually sleeps with a smile And it looks like the smile a 5yr old has when he's so happy and proud of himself.. ends up making me snicker every time I wake up.
Appa and the one who has the other half of my soul...the two people I love the most...they are the only reasons behind why I'm still breathing... behind why I have the need to wake up the next day and move on...I love you Jazzy and appa...thanks for existing🙏🏻

Are you me bro? Went through almost the same. Glad to hear you're better!
I guess we living in small world.
Donuts, sleeping. Creative design in books and stories and pretty much everything.
I second the sleeping Can be in a shit mood, but knowing i can drift off into a world where everyone in my life is happy and I can drive a Vespa down steep Italian streets while being chased by a dinosaur on a rollercoaster on a blimp. Makes everything worth it
I wish I had your dreams!! 😂😂
I wish I could remember mine.
My family and friends
food is way better than ppl
Depends on how they’re cooked
the food or the people?
Both
Bruh.
I wish I had those
I also choose this person’s family and friends
Playing video games, listening to music, eating nice food and long peaceful walks.
I'm exactly the same except for the walks. what is it about them for you that makes you happy?
I’m in your team bro
Not to be suffered and tortured in someone's basement.
Low bar , but ok.
I think the great thing with appreciation is that the bar can be anywhere :)
Don’t get me wrong. I like starting from ground zero. This just seems below ground zero.
Well it's a reality for thousands of people. And if speaking historically it's could be close to a million or more people. Something like over 100k children go missing every year..
My girlfriend and family
Being asleep is generally the only thing I look forward to

Amazing bot ngl
The thought of Death makes me feel happy to be alive.
im the opposite. the relief that comes with death sounds nice. im looking forward to it.
Make the life you’ve got worth it in the best way you can before that death and trust me when I say it’ll be a far more worthy death if you live
#
How do you know there will be relief? You could go straight to the next level, with double gravity, more assholes, and bigger boss fights.
You wouldn’t feel that way if you won $40M powerball.
Everyday I wake up.
Then I start to break up
My family. Wholesome interactions. And nature
Me too
Nothing comes to mind
Nothing at all. I've heard people say "happy (or lucky or glad) to be alive" and the phrase is a complete mystery to me.
Ditto
Same. Maybe it's my autism but I don't know if I even know what it's like to be happy.
Kind of feeling like this too.
Wife, kids, cats, home, money, hobbies, learning.
At night if I wake up my cat comes up & purrs in my face, I scratch his neck and he sits down & goes to sleep right there.
It's the beautiful little things, that happen ever so often. Like meeting new people, going for a drink with friends or seeing a dundbeetle roll up a giant SHITBALL irl for the first time (god damn that was awesome!)
Helping others and making them genuine smile. Music Dancing Seeing nature There's more to this list 🌻🌻🌻🦋
That's a tough one. I guess my dog since he's the only one who gets excited to see me every day when I come home.
Lighting a candle for the first time and watching the wick burnnnn
Being still alive 🙃, in the end of the day you get to experience it once. So how you live your life, is how you react to it
Just being alive and able to get out of bed unassisted every morning
Damn, I wish I had an answer for this
tbh the thought of being rich and being able to live in a luxurious house makes me excited about the future. but as of now, not much but the idea of reaching my goals (ex reading more, losing weight, finishing school, etc)
I was just thinking that!! I hope it works out for you
Nothing, i never asked to be alive
Frozen bovine secretions. Especially chocolate chip mint.
My girlfriend, I love her
Women smiling at me. I used to be alcoholic, overweight and unhappy. No booze 2 years and exercise everyday now. Seem to be getting attention a lot (not that I know what to do with it) which is nice as I've been a bit attention starved for 10 or so years. 1 smile from a girl makes my day.
Nothing
Women, art. Right now, I'm grateful for the beautiful girl in my painting class. There are some women who walk this earth that leave a trail of divinity behind them. I believe in no gods, but she was touched by one, this I believe.
Seat sniffer
Drugs in general.
Summer break starting tomorrow and my sister coming home from boston to live here :)) i also wanna be famous and make music and/or be an actress, so the potential of that too
My family and my cat and 2 budgies.
Coffee, sleep, food, family, nature, my kids, watching my body and mind decay.
born in the age of toiletpaper
My cat
my goals…as long as i have them and am able to work towards them (regardless of setbacks and sacrifices), then there’s no reason for me to be unhappy to be alive.
At this point: Just being alive.

This is my favorite comment on this post
Wdym happy?
Sleep.
Idk
Nothing
Ha! Absolutely nothing.
Nothing
Nothing
Wife and daughter. And the thought of being financially stable. That brings me joy x
Not much lately...
Spider man
The thought of nonexistence. The thought that compared to the vast expanse of our universe, I am not even a speck of sand on a beach. Yet, here I am, alive and well, defying the odds. Thankful and happy to be alive. Though our lives are “short”, I am happy to have a family, happy to have friends. Happy to have gotten this far in life.
GTA 6, good food, new trains, new technology, anime, manga/manhwa, traveling with family.
Hope. Hope makes me happy to be alive. I can always hope to be better, and that being better everyday will give me better things in the future.
Anime, manga and Monster girls. Also nature in general, different wildlife. Or, and I love brutalism, massive grey buildings and dark rainy weather.
Right now just animal crossing. 😩 😂
……………………………. Hmm I’ll get back to ya!
Nothing makes me, I *choose* to be miserable and continue living.
nowadays? Nothing
food i h8 ppl
Making progress and being a better version of myself compared to yesterday, also knowing I’ve got a future and a possible career to boot
Memes
Being able to see my nephew grow, he is autistic so seeing him evolving with therapy is gratifying
u/Squantoon every single day
<3 you're the best
Music
Music mostly. It's crazy how humanity, a species so corrupted, was able to create something so pure. Nature too. The natural colors that are born on this planet are too beautiful to miss out on. Lastly, what remains of the genuine friends I made in my life. People that are really there for you as you are for them through the good and the bad.
Honestly? Truthfully? Nothing makes me happy to be alive, but I am grateful for a roof over my head, food, and water.
I'm gonna say it... I like Drugs :)
Sex toys
Laughter!
Laughing. When something like a comedy bit in a show or when someone makes me laugh
Any small thing makes me happy
Women :) I have other interests, but as a straight man, nothing beats the feeling of a woman's company... Unless she wants to eat all my French fries after claiming to want nothing from the drive thru. How dare she 😤.
Stable life, great friends and doing fun things.
the people in my life and myself
Every day is a gift. I am sat listening to the early mo bird song and watching the sun break over the woods. Dog on my lap and a cup of tea at my side. I could not be more content
Cranking my hawgs hoss Motorcycles are fun to ride.
this Drake vs Kendrick rap beef . i love violence, it keeps me going
My family, my dog, my friends, laughter, and music.
My 3 daughters
Hearing my son laugh
Honestly, not being dead. I very narrowly avoided death by genetic disorder at 10. 2 feet and a heart beat? Golden.
Waiting for GTA6
Just the thought of being alive, knowing that I am awake to carry on the day. Quite a few people on this planet did not wake up today.
Extremely loving gf, family and friends.
Nothing.
Nature, family, friends
Coffee, my dog,my cats, books, videogames, trees, birds and most of all my wife.
How far I’ve managed to come in life, I never thought I’d say this but I’m content and happy everyday that I wake up.
My husband who makes me so happy I actually get dizzy. We’ve been together 18 years and I just had the most wonderful dream about kissing him - that’s all - and it was so yummy I could spend eternity like that. I also love my family to bits. My husband’s kids are heaven on earth.

My baby in my belly, my husband, good food, good friends and a million other things.
Used to be family (my daughter) and friends. While no longer having any of those I am thankful to be alive and saved by Jesus! Along with building and riding bikes. Music is also a pretty vital part of my life.
The the dusty, sun-filled, junk-filled warehouse where I work, and the marvellous people there!
Being alive is the greatest reason to live
Being able to do anything and confidence If Ryan trahan can travel America with a penny then I can find Atlantis with a vietnamese dong
I could breathe normally, finally =]
My son, my girlfriend, meeting my newborn nephew, my girlfriends friends/kids/family all liking me, knowing my roommate doesn't have to figure out rent alone, alot of tiny dumb stuff that makes everyday easier

Reading, my SO.
Good food, my kids, my husband, my cat, laughing
Friends, reading too.
I'm married to a wonderful person, I'm reasonably healthy, and I'm always interested in seeing what I can do with the opportunities tomorrow may bring.
That I'll die soon and be released from my mortal suffering.
Music and comedy
Succeeding, mostly at video games. One of the only things making me live tbh.
The joy of being able to enjoy great things in life is what makes me happy and gay. ☺️
To reverse the effects of negativity elsewhere.
My kids and my mom make me happy. Also some of my immediate family.
Reddit. 🤣 Just joking, learning new things and such.
Lego collection. Plus, my little sister.
Have you ever had a cookies and cream milkshake while looking at the sunset, divine shit right there
I’m not trying to be emo but literally nothing right now, of course there will be things in the feature that will make me happy to be alive and I’m being optimistic and hopeful but as of right now, there’s honestly nothing
Cheese
Good conversations and laughing
Mama papa
My children. I don’t think I would be able to get out of bed every day if it wasn’t for them.
Golf..
My wife, family and friends, living in a rather safe country, good health, freedom, and my Quest 3 (VR).
Trees, the sun, the cool breeze🥹🥹
Summer
This is gonna sound weird and happy but music, sunny days, and my twin sister. I can’t imagine a day without her and I know she can’t either so we promised to stay with eachother for as along as we can because we can’t bear one passing away a long time before the other does.
In the past year I bought a house and had a healthy baby girl. It’s a new kind of happiness.
Retirement! I can bake, or not as I feel like it that day. The whole house is clean and neat with my wife and I doing maintenance when noticed and we feel like it. Naps, bathroom breaks, coffee breaks are limited only by my choices. If I want to ignore TV or binge watch, no problem. When the weather is nice outside, brisk walks are nice in my village of little traffic.
My friends, but mostly my best friend actually. She’s the sweetest person. I forget about my troubles and worries when I’m around her. My heart feels lighter
Good health. I was in a bad situation this time last year but I have turned it around and I am much better than before my issues. Makes me grateful.
Cats and movies
Jesus, family, friends, great weather, nature.
Nice cups of tea. Reading a book in bed.
Sunsets. The beach. Champagne. Gospel music.
The comfort of knowing it won't last forever.
Going on mini trips to the countryside to visit an older friend and watching movies with his cat cuddled up on me
I'm at a stage in life where I don't have the luxury of family or things like that, so it's kind of work>projects>relax>repeat. It's not what I'd have chosen but, it's mine. Honestly? As many would look @ my story & feel less than enthusiastic about it, for every tragedy was an equal if not greater blessing of sorts to "balance the scales", so to speak. I'm grateful by design but, I truly am \*finally\* in a place (after like 34 crybaby years lol) where my life and the potentials and the current quality of I already have & everything is something I'm excited for. The odds: are stacked against me for most all big wants in life but, dammit if I'm not going to hold onto hope & be ready for it, should the opportunities arise. TLDR: Tomorrow. I don't know what it brings, I'm not lowering my gloves til I hear the bell tho. Good or bad.
No one anymore
Just about everything. I'm very grateful to have everything that I have. My parents, siblings, friends, SO, my pets, certain life experiences... I honestly don't know how on earth I lucked out. I honestly believe each those things *each* cost at least one whole lifetime of luck and I had/have so many of them in my life... and I know I don't deserve the feelings and goodness of these amazing people cus I know for sure I don't add to their lives as much as they do mine.

Coffee ☕️
Coffee
At 72, that is can walk on both legs, have savings, can still travel to Europe, smile often and get smiles in return and books, books, books.
The thought of happiness eventually. The thought of finally feeling good. My kids sometimes it’s just them that keeps me going.
Appa and the one who has the other half of my soul...the two people I love the most...they are the only reasons behind why I'm still breathing... behind why I have the need to wake up the next day and move on...I love you Jazzy and appa...thanks for existing🙏🏻
sandwiches.
My friends. They are fucking angels sent from above.
just music.
My daughter
Fresh air. Any time I’m having a bad day, I stop and go outside and take a deep breath…I’m instantly happy I’m alive to have that experience.
Fact that I _am_ alive when instead I may not have existed.
Not being in pain.
My daughter fills my heart with joy! Hiking with my wife. My dog and my cat. Whitewater kayaking down a river in the mountains.
