roof over my head, my hobbies, staying present, doing whatever i want, having real consistent friends... wanna detach from this one cause i'm enough on my own but nothing beats having good people around you
Happiness is freedom
I’ll never be free
🙂
To give an actual answer.
Freedom =
Being able to wake up in the morning knowing I can breathe and don’t have debt over my head
Knowing bills are paid and that I don’t have to worry about lights being cut off, eviction, water being turned off.
Living in a safe environment where I can step outside and don’t have to worry about some young mf looking for a come up.
Knowing my loved ones are well and I have the ability to help them if they need it.
Being able to actually enjoy my hobbies without guilt
Being able to enjoy the world itself, nature, traveling.
Being healthy in general. Not being plagued by my mental health.
Freedom of choice to do all these things and more
Being myself at the highest level and knowing I mean a lot to the people in my life. Also eating the tastiest foods 😋
To me happiness is just a temporary emotional response to s***, a lot of stuff in this thread is more in line with my idea of long term comfort
My idea of happiness is being able to wake up in a good mood. Be in this good mood through the entire day. Weeks. Months. Years.
Have a girlfriend who genuinely loves me. Shows support and understands me Have a good paying job that you enjoy. Thrown in some kids that I love
A creative job/hustle that I have a lot of agency over
This would actually give me purpose
The coworkers under me told me they're glad I joined the company and that I’m very supportive of them and make their lives easier.
They are all fresh graduates out of university and my company typically has a hire turnover rate for their positions. It made me really happy to be recognized by them and that I made their first job exp positive.
I like being appreciated for caring for people
when i was recovering from my motorcycle crash I told myself "when I can walk I'll be happy" and then I was walking hand in hand with sadness. then it was "when I can lift weights I'll be happy" and then I was getting a pump with sadness.
took me awhile to realize that one can just..be happy. separate from any external factors. its a few books I read that made me go "what the f*** am i doing suffocated by my own thoughts? how could I trick myself like this?"
i still get down sometimes but I always have an internal joy for life that swells inside me and lifts me out of the fog
plants always got an answer for everything in every thread
this why you the f***in best
Healthy mind and body, healthy and fulfilling relationships, the freedom to express my ideas and emotions creatively without financial concern.
