What makes you happy?

Is it hanging with your SO? Is it completing a challenging project at work? Is it creamy Alfredo pasta? Is it finally getting that gold cup in 150cc in Mario Kart? Is it unboxing a brand new tech gadget?

There isn't a lot of happiness left in my life anymore but I'd say my friends and music.

Weed, lots of it.

No seriously, the moments I'm the most happy is when I have a good meal in front of me. When I'm crashed on the couch with my GF with a fire going on. When I'm playing a really good game and realize it or when I know it before release and receive/buy a copy on launch day, hyped as fuck. When things go smoothly at work. When I see a good friend and we spend quality time. The morning coffee is also synonym of happiness to me, I'm addicted to that shit. :lol

All these little moments I appreciate a lot because I'm aware that I'm living a privileged life. We live in such an unjust world I can only be thankful for having such luxuries in my day to day. So many people I cross path with never seem to not realize that, we're living the good life.

I've been way happier since I quit weed almost five months ago. It's been so easy to experience genuine happiness again, I honestly thought I had lost it forever.
  • Splatoon 2, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Pikmin 3, Paper Mario, Rock Band 4 and several other video games never let me down.
  • My collection of vintage clothes is a sight to behold.
  • Cute dogs and other animals.
  • Listening to my favorite albums.
  • Watching PokĂ©mon TCG unboxings on YouTube.
  • Soft drinks.
  • Looking at my video game collection and remembering all the good times I've had.
  • A truly beautiful woman (hard to come by these days).
  • Writing long e-mails to my pen pal.
  • Watching my favorite movies and television shows.
  • Enjoying a nice cold beer and a cigarette every so often.
  • Looking at the stars.
  • Looking at the clouds.
  • Wondering about life.
  • Knowing that I'll find love again someday.
I'm a simple man.

  • My family
  • My dog
  • Reading books
  • Listening to music
  • Traveling to different countries
  • Enjoying new foods or cuisines
  • Certain holidays, like Christmas

Then there are the little pleasures, like taking an extra long hot shower or having a drink after doing yard work or home improvement.

Photography. Nothing else I do makes me feel like I'm leaving the world in a better place then I found it.

I was asked this question about 6 months ago, I'm still having a hard time narrowing this down.
There are many things that I enjoy, but the good feelings are fleeting and generally only exist while experiencing these things.

I love my family, my best friend, my cat (my heart melts in his presence). I love animals and interacting with them. I don't think there's anything as pure as a happy dog.
I'm not generally a happy person though, often I'm in a kinda "neutral" blank state where I just push bad feelings away.

I guess music creation, playing and recording, accomplishing something musical. These can make me happy.
It also can backfire massively, it's so overwhelming and too often I swing and miss, which leaves me discouraged and not wanting to touch the guitar for a while. I haven't picked up my guitar since November due to this irrational fear.

Sorry for the ramble, today is just one of those days.

Snowboarding.

It's the only time my mind feels completely free and focused. There's nothing in my mind but my line and the next turn. No worries or stress or anxiety.

I love good food. Never fails to cheer me up, especially if I cooked it myself. On the flip side, dieting is downright depressing.

Also any form of physical affection. Hugs, head pats, hand on shoulder etc.

Travel and planning out holidays.

I get soo much joy from researching every single part of places I want to go to, look at stuff to do, places to check out and eat at. Watching videos on YouTube, looking at pictures from Tripadvisor and all that.

Just wish I had more money for the actually travel part :P

I can't remember the last time I was truly happy. It's been years. Maybe a decade, or close to it.
