Lots of things. Working on a project, reading a good book, a nice meal, vibing in nature, pleasant exercise. There’s a lot of suffering in the world, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy everyday things.

Caterpillers

Cuddling with my partner in bed. Especially early in the morning, when I give myself an extra half hour to just stay close together for a little while longer.

Bird photography. I’m a person who tends toward depression. It was honestly very surprising the first time I noticed that when I’m photographing birds I have a huge smile on my face the whole time.

I’ve been learning the ins and outs of my camera gear for the last year and making small improvements is really satisfying. But really it’s just being out in nature, looking at adorable birds and capturing those moments for later.

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.

Fixing things. Mostly if it’s for someone else.

Unfortunately as far as work goes, two of the things that make me most unhappy: driving, traffic, are tied to the job of fixing things for people so I quit that job :/

Walking my dog in a winter forest.

Cheese.

Making music

Tinkering/assembling stuff and see it come to life. Bonus points if it’s something my kids can join in on.

Other contenders: (good) food, music, weather

It really depends. Sometimes it’s drumming, sometimes going on an outing and doing car karaoke on the way, and sometimes I can’t find anything that helps and just have to wait for unhappiness to subside.

Dopamine mostly

Mostly spilling blood for the blood god. I dabble in collecting skulls for the skull throne as well when they’re in season.

Video games.

Someone I can trust
