What's something small that makes you feel happy?

[Bikishii]

Quietly hearing a far-off mourning dove in the early to mid morning.

The scent of the earth when I'm high up on a mountain.

Working 8 hours on one dish, spending the whole day cooking, and it comes out better than expected.

Just to name a few. I can't always see these when I'm in pain, and it's not like chirping birds are the real antidepressant. But they're little things that I'll miss if there's some kind of life after death (I don't believe there is one, but none of us know for certain). Small things that, in moments of clarity, I'm able to appreciate, even if just for five seconds. Some brief respite from the pain, the dullness, the agony, the suffering, however it may manifest in a given moment. Is it a reason to keep living? I honestly don't know. But it gives me a break from life for even just a quick moment. They say "it's the little things in life" which is obviously trite and cliché crap, but there can certainly be some level of truth to it after all.


So tell me, SaSu, what are some small things that make you happy? What are some small things that just make you feel good?

funny memes, i guess. idk

when i dont have a depressive episode i like to draw, to sing and to play piano. if i dont remember during it how mediocre am i but when i have one of these days i cant do anything, just rot in bed

i also like spending time with my loved ones. and to pet my cats

and i like to read wiki, to learn something new about the world. but most things about the world are pretty depressing, so i have controversial feelings about this one

haha, guess i like a lot of stuff, who would have thought

No, there's no such thing as happiness in this dreadful existence, existing is torture and there's just so much evil in existing with existing beings tortured in every second with no limit as to how much agony one can feel, no matter what this existence should never be imposed.

All that existence ever does is just cause harm and suffering and I'll always see it as a mistake to suffer in this existence, to exist is the most terrible undeserved punishment to me and it's just horrific how humans cause all this torture by imposing this existence onto others, to me only non-existence is positive. I'd only be glad to never suffer again, in this existence so torturous and cruel only non-existence can bring me any peace, it's terrifying to me how the torture of existing can continue for decades longer just for one to face the terrible agony of old age, I'd never wish to be conscious of anything at all.

Making coffee or tea and drinking it. It brings a little joy since I was a little girl and eating a good breakfast.
