Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest
What makes you happy?
So, apart from day-dreaming, WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY?
Anything could be mentioned: general categories (from Big Macs to metaphysical poetry), particular memories (if you want to share), people, anything. I hope, I don't duplicate any post :)
To start the whole thing, here is my list in no particular order:
Sleeping, night dreams, lucid dreams, interpreting dreams
Powerful music and (recently discovered) slow music
Learning new things, especially, when travelling and reading about travelling
Driving (although I'm a bad driver)
Helping (sometimes)
Aesthetical side of science (all this Discovery channels programs about physics)
Sports (running, swimming and cycling)
Feeling in control (like having a clean flat or sorted out emails)
Setting goals and achieving them at least partially (not always was the case, guess why)
Light perfumes (all these D&G Light Blue, Davidoff Cool Water, Adidas Blue)
Clothes (obviously)
Small animals, especially smiling dogs
Good Skype conversations with my family (sometimes)

The best things to makes me happy are face to face quality communication (with someone who is pleasurable to talk with, which is intelligent and understanding nice good listener) and the other very important thing - going to a music event I've really wanted to (or at least watching it on the DVD) (music is of the things that mostly are needed in my life).
Then:
- shopping
- good sex
- sport (currently I abandoned this, but will start again)
- good movie or book
- being for at least an hour in a very crowded place. often have just the need to be among many people
- sharing a secret
- finishing work while the sun is still up
- good espresso
- artistic expression (at least have a music and sing-along in front of the mirror :)

Your first statement is wonderful and very selfless! Also something I wish I had put on my list because helping others also makes me happy. I wish we had all put that on our list. This world would be a better place :o)

What makes me feel happiest in this world is kindness. It could be as simple as someone smiling at me or when I help a lost person find their way. It could also be a news story, such as one where a group of regular customers at a restaurant saved up enough money for a waitress to be able to go to college. Whatever form it comes in, kindness uplifts me like nothing else...

Today searching the internet for information on a positive subject in life made me happy!
I also noticed this. When I was preparing the list, I became a bit happier, too. It's so strange, how our brains work.

Finding pennies. I found two this morning. It may seem insignificant, but it always puts a smile on my face.

That is good to hear, and I love to see/hear and do things like that too, but sadly there is much more evil in the world, why do the rich not try to change it? They have been blessed with a gift, just a minuscule fraction of their wealth could change so many peoples lives, it is sad to see people suffering, and then even worse to see others mocking them for something that is not really their fault, sorry to put this conversation on a down-buzz people :)
