What makes you happy in life? What are some of the things that keep you going every day, that put a smile on your face, making it worth living this thing that we call life? Let me know, I'm curious to see where people on here find their happiness.

Besides the obvious things like laughing with friends or beign with my bf, probably when I go out of my house and the sky is just so clear, the weather is warm, the air feels pure, idk... I think sometimes peace equals happiness

Food sometimes, interesting movies or anime or whatever else. Sometimes life just lines up and things feel good, feel right. Not recently though.

Happiness has been elusive for me over the past few years. But I find happiness in teaching others, watching them succeed and learning new things. The world can be an amazing place if you look a little closer.

I have a similar point of view as HighFlight55. I love teaching, I love bringing a little piece of my world to others. I was born privileged, and I think it's my job to bring what others could not have to them. I work in public healthcare, so my patients are very vulnerable and usually my colleagues treat them like subhuman. I give them the treatment I had in private hospitals. Time, knowledge, instruction, patience. They always turn into a genuine smile. They feel seen. It's the best feeling ever. Like I'm meant to be there.

My dream in life is to win the lottery and just live in voluntary work. Bringing quality healthcare to those who don't have the access to it.

There's not so much anymore since I m getting deeper into depression. But I love animals and they make me smile for a short time, for example when I see them in the city with their owners (dogs) or when I meet a cat in the streets. It is so pure creatures.

nothing has made me happier than street kitties coming up to me to say hi c; the fact that i can't have pets makes it so much more special

I hope you can find that eventually. Let me know if you need anything or if you just wanna talk and get some things off your chest. I care.

Thanks for this prompt, OP.

I find a lot of happiness in the change of seasons, caring for plants, learning new things about stuff I'm into, and cooking nice meals for loved ones.

I've actually never realized how happy I get when the seasons change, that's so underrated. I love it when it changes from warm to cold. Something comforting about the snow.
