What makes you happy?

So... I was talking with a friend yesterday who was having a rough time because of a family member who was very sick. Prior to this, she was having a lot of arguments with her parents and she had also stopped talking with her best female friend (I'm the male best friend). I know the whole story and was trying to cheer her up and telling her to keep her head high despite the bad streak of things. She just said: thank you... I'll try... (stuff that we normally say but don't really mean it when we're going through a rough time). After that, I paused and asked her: "What makes you happy?" She immediately changed her face and just stared at me in surprise and said: "No one has ever asked me that question before. Now that I think about it... I don't I have either". "I guess if I had to pin it down, it would be singing and writing". I then told her this: "In that case, every time you feel bad, try to remember the things that make you happy so you know that we will always have good and bad moments. Which one of those we want the most depends on us". She thanked me (I think sincerely this time) and said she would try and smiled at me.

My thoughts: After that conversation, I wondered to myself if people ask themselves that question usually and if they do, what do they say? I guess the point is to know if people stop to think about these kind of things every once in a while or not. So, share what makes you happy and for a bonus if you do it often or not :D

 

Please don't make fun of what other people say.

TL;DR = What makes you happy and how often do you do it?

For me: Reading books, exercising,  playing video games, hanging out with my friends and being with my girlfriend. I don't play so much video games right now but no problems with the other three.

This is an interesting topic...

 

Hmm... Never thought about it myself...

 

Off the top of my head, I'd say getting cool new stuff, a good cup of coffee, pleasant companions (like most of the peeps I met here on the forums), and good food...

 

oh, and a good anime/manga/visual novel/light novel...

Many things make me happy, especially the sound of a rotary engine at full revs.

Being around people and engaging in conversation with them makes me happy, as does achieving things, along with drinking a good quality craft beer.

The RX7 was good, but I preferred the RX8. Plus my dad had one (got rid of it recently, the fuel costs were too high) and I loved going out in it down the motorways at night, you could hit the rev limits on the first 4 gears on a clear motorway, and it would give off a beeping tone to signal that you really should change gear.
