For me: good food, good chocolate, good scenery
Dogs.
pretty consistent sex/more than once a day, much cuddling and smoking together, giggling together. Loving. Letting our inner kids shine together. Shining as adults together. Comfort.
Having a close and happy family

Space and freedom

Living in a safe and friendly environment

I’d be even happier if I owned my own home 🙏

Getting completely immersed in a video game, movie, show, or book, and having the idea of our actual world melt way. Cooking and baking does this for me too. It's super relaxing and fun. Basically anything that isn't listening or focusing on the bad parts of this world.

Nah, I still would tho. I figured yall would have some out there. Just seems to fit the style . I'd look into one if I were you, if you want to own your own home. Look for land and ask about regulations on cob
No idea...I'm just trying to survive anymore.

Are airport lounges still good? Never had the pleasure of trying one out.

Doesn't have to be significant. Even small things count.
Edited first post to include my answer. Chocolate was my initial answer. Trying to think of more. 🤔

Being content with life
happiness to me is when you have peace of mind and gratitude for what you have.

also having hope in your heart no matter what your life looks like at any moment.

i think peace of mind comes from just being content with who you are as a person. if you’re a man/woman of his/her words and you aren’t out here hurting anyone, playing games, spreading hate, then you’ll probably sleep peacefully at night. even if your life isn’t perfect.

you at least won’t have any “demons” or whatever to deal with.

you won’t have any regrets keeping you up at night.

happiness is knowing your loved ones are safe and happy.

happiness is also being aware that humanity is all interconnected. so no one is actually alone.

I think happiness is overrated. I honestly doubt most humans are happy.

It’s just a concept they sold us, so we spend our whole lives chasing it.

As for small things that make me happy, that would probably be coffee and playing slot machines!
When me, the ones I truly love, and the Earth are truly happy.

ever since i started practicing gratitude, i honestly haven’t been miserable since lol

these days, i find immense gratitude in being healthy.

i could be one of those people that are bedridden at the hospital, staring at the ceiling all day, wondering if i’m ever gonna recover enough to live a normal life again

but instead, here i am walking to a convenience store, with my own two legs, and not in a wheelchair or anything.

you can only do that if you’re healthy

those bedridden people at the hospital would kill to be able to walk to a store on their own.

just super simple things like that that we take for granted when we’re healthy.

even now, you and i are typing this with our fingers lol there are people out there who don’t even have fingers to type with.

What does happiness mean to you, @poppyflower?
I wish pictures work on this thing. I can demonstrate what happiness mean to me via picture. I'm not good at talking much yall.
Good food, good pussy, easy money. Not for buying stuff, but buying time.

Taurus rising 😁

I know this would sound super cheesy but I’m the happiest when I can make someone happy😁

Having great relationship with self & ppl and staying healthy …also good food 😌

Edited my first post.

I also get joy when I help people...sometimes even the smallest things. But I haven't determined if that's happiness or just sense of accomplishment. 🤔

i sorta prefer the word “lessons” rather than “traumas”.

i feel like when we refer to ourselves as someone with a lot of “trauma” or whatever, we kinda become stuck in that identity for a long period and become powerless so i don’t really like using that word lol 😅

but yeah i’ve had some trials and tribulations and lessons which i’m grateful for. smile i think we all have.

Cheese, crackers, grapes and wine. 👌 I can probably be happy on that alone for a few months

Yeah only comments for me too. I think.

Anyway I would say the meaning of happiness to me is being out in nature alone most particularly out somewhere in the middle of nowhere land. Living in a nice cabin surrounded by beautiful lakes, creeks and trees. At least in my personal opinion that'll make me the most joyous person in the world. I wanted to post a picture of it but don't want to chance it not showing up on the thread. Duncan need to fix it back to where we can get back to posting images on message boards. It's not fair that it works for some and not for others.
Being on holidays and having little to worry about for the foreseeable future.

Yeah that looks lovely. It look sort of cartoonish lol. While that one does look nice and peaceful for someone like me at a retirement age there's only two problems with that. 1 the foothills. I can do without that because I already have that where I currently live and 2 the boulders got to go. What I had in mind was something more intense that fit my personality. It has to have lakes and creeks and a nice clean straight land (boulder and foothills free) and a bit cold and dark. Like this one

speaking of food since many ppl mentioned it , does anyone else here watch ASMR mukbangs before bed to relax/unwind or is it just me? 😂

all you ppl with taurus placements, i’m looking at you right now 😂 i know some of y’all claim to go to the bathroom and raid the fridge at 3am looking for something to eat 😂 shoutout to my spouse with taurus rising, and best friend (virgo sun and venus both in 2nd house taurus) 😂 they’re both certified 3am fridge raiders lolol my venus in taurus sometimes likes to get in on the action too 😂

but yeah listening to asmr mukbangs before bed with my spouse is one of my silly, light-hearted activities that make me happy before drifting off to sleep these days. i really like the chewing sounds. it’s so relaxing 😌

honeycomb, boba (tapioca pearls) and galaxy sweets are all recent favorites 😂

with galaxy sweets, i just like the vibrant pop of color lol

before mukbangs, i used to just listen to ocean wave audios when drifting off lol i highly recommend listening to nature sounds for anyone who is stressed, anxious etc. YouTube has many nature sounds videos.








also these cozy crackling fireplace videos are relaxing too..!

Love this 🔥😍
Being cosy AF. Having enough money to have a cosy home that's furnished the way you like. Feeling safe in the home you own and getting snuggled up warmly with a warm homemade bubble tea, after a lovely good meal next to your hubby on one of those cold snowy nights realising just how lucky you are.🌨️❄️

That's what I call happiness.

So apparently 52% of Americans report feeling lonely and as much as 33% of the world's population is lonely.

On the bright side, that’s A LOT of fishies in the sea to pick from to cuddle lol
