Discussion What are the little joys that keep you going?

[vyvanceandvodka]

I had a horrible day, and I'm trying to focus on the positive things in life instead of automatically wanting to CTB.

I like taking bubble baths, watching my favorite shows (chiikawa, south park, the L word), chocolate cake, listening to music, and seeing my friends.

 

[realname]

Cannabis.

 

[NormallyNeurotic]

Making people I love happy. With acts of service usually lol

 

[NearlyIrrelevantCake]

+New music. Right now I'm waiting for OST tracks from Heated Rivalry to drop, they're dragging it out a few songs at a time throughout January. Cock teases... Also I'm fiending for the new Infected Mushroom album, don't even have a release date for it yet but they've put out a few singles over the last few months.

+Food. I'm a fatass and love food. Which leads into--

+I hook up with a local friend a few times a year and [lovingly] drag her to ethnic restaurants to expand her food horizons. We've done Mexican, Chinese, Greek, Vietnamese... She had never heard of avocado before... She is peak White Girl, but happy to try most new things and I love her for it. I've known her for ~20 years, we met in high school. I'm not social at all, it exhausts me. But a few times a year is tolerable. Our next planned date is my birthday next month. Not any foreign food, we're going to a pub that does a free birthday meal.

+Weed. Being high is fun, that's all there is to it.

+I have silly hats/headwear that I wear and people in public comment positively on them most times I leave the house wearing one. I have two cat hats, a panda bear hat, reindeer antler hair clips that I break out in December. On my birthday, I wear a tiara that says IT'S MY BIRTHDAY. I also have glasses with rainbow frames that get commented on a lot.

 

[Sphinxi]

Reading, and experiencing things.

 

[trying ungracefully]

Crochet. It's stressful sometimes but it's the good type of stress usually.

 

[MAKE IT STOP!]

1. Those who love me.
2. Making people laugh.
3. Spiting my abusers.
4. Music. I love listening to my favorite bands.
5. My favourite shows (BFDI, Kikoriki, Viva Pinata, etc.)
6. Video games (Mario, Sonic, Lego games, etc.)
7. Movies

 

[closetoyou]

[tulipstulipstulips]

Having a crush and friendslop video games

 

[orpheus_]

seeing dogs. That's it.

when I'm less numb to everything I enjoy art and any positive interactions with people irl.

 

[dejaentendu]

Things like my favourite songs, and looking forward to new games that are coming out, are things that keep me going.

omggg I loved brand new back in high school!! they're a good band

 

[woofwag]

Kissing people who I truly like. Cats. My stuffies. Crafts. People liking my writing/writing it in the first place. And ofc, love.

 

[GodzillasBiggestFan]

-theatre. i love (almost) all aspects of it. tech/backstage, especially spotlight but also deck crew, prop making, really anything but directing, but being onstage is my favorite. i really really enjoy acting. it's the only time i feel true happiness and peace. there's other things i like but i dont know if there's anything else i can say i love.

-seeing animals especially dogs or any kind of ocean animal i really like going to the aquarium even though i almost never get to. that feels nice.

-my bestie and my housemate. they support me and make me smile and laugh sometimes. also the person i'm doing a short play with.

-my housemate's cat is the best cat i ever knew

-seeing trains i feel really happy seeing them even though irl i only just see the same ones

-anything to do with godzilla. i have one specific favorite. it's unnoficial and it's really short and no one has really heard of it but my bestie has, and sometimes reads my fanfictions, gives me their headcanons on the characters from it or listens to mine. sometimes i worry i'll annoy them with how much i talk about it, but it makes me feel nice when they listen. collecting godzilla themed things makes me feel nice too

-some music makes me feel calm. for singers i like noah kahan, will wood, tom rosenthal, and jonathan coulton. for bands, i like the mountain goats, twrp, ajj and ajr. noah kahan is my favorite i think out of all of them

-writing poetry

 

[deny_conformity]

1. A nice long hug with a person I care about, even better are unexpected hugs.
2. The first coffee of a day, especially good when I can sit and enjoy it. This is closely followed by the second coffee of the day after a session in the gym. I like to sit in a coffee shop and people watch or browse SaSu.
3. Fussing over a dog or cat

Just a few of my favourite things, the little things that take almost no effort but yield great results.

[CatLvr]

My son, my dogs and cats. The sun shining on my skin.

 

[Namelesa Graves]

Just seeing the characters Andrew and Ashley Graves from the Coffin of Andy and Leyley. They are my favourite characters ever and give comfort to me seeing them.

 

[Pluto]

 

[Arvayn]

Acquisition of knowledge, enjoying arts, chocolate, my appreciative friends, irony and the microscopic, negligibly tiny chance that I might one day experience true love again.

 

[justanotherbody]

Seeing her smile, hearing her voice...

 

[RyleIsRiledUp]

Coffee, art, music, The upcoming batman movie (I ain dying before I get to see that). I just latch onto any random stuff just to make an excuse to live another day. It works for me.

 

[EmptyBottle]

• Ravi, a 2+ year old stripy tabby cat
• My dream log (if I'm not alive to post to it for 40 hours or so, the 490+ day streak will be lost)
• A chat I run, most activity comes from me talking to users, who miss me when I'm merely AFK when they are there (I'm not a 24/7 chatbot)


tho true, one day at a time (or hour, or even minute) tends to stop this @EmptyBottle from going off the (metaphorical) ledge, besides one way bus complexities.

 

[InversedShadow]

My Little joys hmmm, I think I could consider these as such:
- spending time with my beloved and seeing her happy
- Talking to nice/friendly people
- Winning in a game/Making progress
- Actually sticking to my exercising schedule
- not having a back pain after waking up
- Seeing snowflakes fall from the sky
- The countryside ( fields, sun, trees, nature ), even images from places like these make me happier. Unless there are abandoned things in the picture, then it's kinda sad.

 

[Ashu]

Art, food, sex.

 

[whywere]

Just wonderful!

Always gives me a laugh to help my 24/7 chronic pain, you ARE a saint!

[Implicit_Submission]

long quiet drives out in the country and listening to music. reading books/engaging with media that makes me feel less alone in the world. oh, and smoking weed!
