Poll of the Day > What are the top 5 things in your life that make you happy?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Trying to think positive and maybe get to know one another a little better. Plus I'm bored at work and figure people like to talk about themselves.

So what makes you happy? No particular order for me:

My gf. She's my best friend and cares about me so much, I don't really deserve it.

My kitties. I'm a huge animal person. I love my little two cats.

Weed. Sure, I enjoy it recreationally. But I have three separate conditions that qualify for mmj, not even including 'trivial' disorders like chronic depression. It helps me feel normal and allows me to live a normal life.

Hockey. I play it; it's my release from the stress that builds up. I enjoy the speed, the exercise, making friends. I also watch 90% of the Penguins games and go to a half dozen a year.

Travel. I enjoy new experiences, gaining perspective, and mostly getting away from life downtown in the city.

Man, I really needed this topic right now, thanks for posting it.

I also enjoy having my cats around and they are ridiculously cuddly considering that they're cats.

The weekend makes me happy. I like work for the most part, but dang, the morning feels better waking up and knowing that I can take my time getting ready.

Music is a big part of my life, I'm almost always listening to it and my mood is easily influenced by it, so jamming out to some upbeat positive tunes helps.

Outdoors. Being outdoors recharges my batteries so quickly and I love wildlife. Been working on setting up feeders and stuff for the local critters.

Finally, I guess just a little bit of meditation makes me happy. Nothing crazy like sitting in silence or burning incense and chanting a mantra. A small bit of introspection to make me realize that things are not as bad as I believe them to be and that life will turn out okay. It makes the following time more worthwhile and meaningful otherwise.

Relationships aren't about "deserving", it's about being there for someone. Try flipping the script sometime. Thinking that someone deserves you sounds kind of wrong, doesn't it? It's not about deserving or worth, it's about the feeling you give each other in a healthy fashion.

That's a good one to live by.

Hm... Hard to say. I guess I'll go with sleeping, eating, watching movies, playing games, and my pets.

Rats are so much fun. They have a crazy amount of personality for being so small.

No real order...

My puppies. They aren't even puppies anymore, but I still treat them like puppies. I love them so much and don't know what I'd do without them. I love them so much. I am an animal person, as well...

I guess video games. Bug part of my life and free time. It also a great way to tell a story... for those type of games...

My friends and family. Probably a cheat/cheap answer. But I don't know what I would do without them. I love visiting home to see everybody. And my mom helps out with so much in my life.

Music is another one. I love just listening to music. While just sitting, walking, running, sleeping, relaxing, etc. I just love to listen to it. And learning about new bands and such.

And maybe traveling. It's fun to go new places. See new things, meet new people, and just being somewhere different.

Some runners up would probably be: having fun, money, delicious food(to me), rollercoasters, and maybe a few others I can't think of right now. It is a pretty hard question to answer, tbh...

Five things? Hmmmm.

1. Close family - Mostly my brother but I have my dad, sister, nephews and niece too.
2. My health for the most part - I do have what seems to be anxiety issues but based on all the tests I've had done I'm healthy so that's good to know I guess.
3. My entertainment needs - Video games, wrestling, films and music make me happy.
4. I have a roof over my head - Yeah I'm happy I'm not homeless.
5. Arse - Yeah I love a nice arse.

It's more easy to list things I'm unhappy with that's for sure. It's been a long time since I've felt truly happy that's if I ever have.
