A simple question, so it appears at first! And so it might be, for some. But for others, perhaps not so much. One thing that led me to creating this thread was how hard I found it to answer this question when I sat down and asked it to myself. It made me wonder how others people’s relationship to this question might be, and exactly what the answers mean to them, so with that said, well, what makes you happy? Do you find it hard or easy to answer a question like that? And in any case, do you find that you’re able to do the things that make you happy a lot, or do you think that you would like more opportunities to do those things?
As for what makes me happy… that, again, is kind of a hard question for me to answer. Probably because happiness has kind of been elusive for me in my life, or at least a consistent stream of happiness; it comes and goes far quicker than I would like sometimes. That said, the one thing that’s guaranteed to make me happy is returning home from a long or stressful day and decompressing with some proverbial life “comfort food”. That would include listening to music (video game music especially!), treating myself to a favorite meal or dessert (being the food lover that I am, haha), brainstorming ideas for my writing (which is far more relaxing than it might sound!), or even just sitting around and taking in the sights and sounds around me, or out the window when the sun is either in the middle of rising, already bright in the sky, or just about to set. The simple things in life, in other words! I also relax by spending some time on YouTube (I’m into technology, travel, and anime videos nowadays), taking long walks around the metropolitan area of the city where I live (I can end up really far away in some cases, haha; wanderlust is my affliction), and doing research on random things that interest me (which are vast and varied, often leading to very long wiki walks by the end of a session). And of course, spending time here at Bulbagarden almost always makes me very, very happy, too!
