Stargate SG1, a beer, some nachos and nobody else home.
Not waking up before 730am.
Walking my dog in a winter forest.
Music
Food
Watching dogs
Running
Play with my niecesYou can tie happiness to the things you like, but I feel this kind of happiness has become very fleeting for me. I feel happy one moment and then feel the sadness coming back. I think this has to do with the fact that, in my head, I feel I’m behind in my life and been stuck without any breakthroughs that I find my peers are getting.
Yeah, I like watching sports and anime. Used to like playing video games but not anymore.
Sex
Mostly spilling blood for the blood god. I dabble in collecting skulls for the skull throne as well when they’re in season.
Being able to paint when I have time and can be alone
My nephew
I genuinely don’t know. I only know what makes me momentarily forget about the lack of happines but I don’t think that’s the same thing.
Anhedonia perhaps?
I would normally say thats strange, but after covid, I can only say its normal.
I want to go back to the 1990s but have to be here in 2025.
My family (this includes my cat), my friends, estrogen, foggy weather.
Taking a drive when it’s sunny and traffic is light.
Cooking from a new recipe and having it come out good.
Sliding into bed on new sheet night.
You could do all 3 at the same time in a camper van.
I sure hope I never encounter you on the road while you’re sleep cooking in your camper van.
I had anhedony, and fought out of it for my partner…just to find out that, as long as I am not depressove, most stuff make me happy. Learning, improving, playing, frolicking, walking, biking, skating, programming…
Just need to be in a right mood. Sometimes, the most happy I can be is by just sitting, cup of hot cocoa in hands, watching some video with my partner. Just a bliss.
Being loved and respected by the people in my life.
I found it by reflecting on the things that truly gave me fulfillment in life. Once you strip away the noise the only thing is left is the people in your life.
