Simple Things

[Experience he/him]

Hey y'all. Thought that maybe there could be a topic where you just post simple things that bring you joy in life. Or big things if you want, but a place to write down reasons you can be happy. 

I'll start. Some simple things that make me happy are raindrops on roses the stars at night, my new puppy, sleeping outside, hearing others' experiences, and sitting by a warm fire on the beach surrounded by friends.

So. What are simple things that bring each of you happyness?

[The Paradoxical Phenomenon he/him]

My baby brother 

but technically he’s pretty fat, so is that a big thing?

also chess

[The cheeseman Don't you dare go Hollow!]

Hearing "The Streets of Whiterun" play when I'm studying. It's a very pleasant, very calming song. Most of the Skyrim soundtrack is.

[ʟɪɢʜʈ]

Reading back through my journal.

Sitting by a fire.

Being outside and thinking or imagining stuff

Talking really deep conversations with people.

Telling stories.

[Edema Rue she/her]

Silence.

When someone uses a semicolon right.

A happy dog, cat, or small child.

A tired dog, cat, or small child.

Giving, or getting, a good squishy hug.

Thinking you haven’t done your math homework then getting it out and realizing you did.

[ʟɪɢʜʈ]

Talking to my brother who are in college and serving a mission in Brazil.

Seeing my friends laugh at something I said or did. Even if I didn't mean it to be funny, it makes me feel a bit less of a burden on my friends.

Walking in silence with a friend

Oh, similar to that, watching people’s faces when they read or watch a show or even just look at a meme, then seeing a little dimple, a twitch of the mouth, a tilting of their eyes as they smile.

When you're choosing the music and someone turns it up because they like the song you chose.

Man, I tell you what

my friends are music snobs

one of them only listens to classic rock, and gulch I like a few songs but a ton of it I can’t stand 

there’s another one who has very specific and weird music 

but yeah, it is nice! It’s extra rewarding when I get that sometimes 

[Experience he/him]

When you spend an entire day playing video games, and don't have to feel bad about it because you didn't have anything that had to get done today.

[ʟɪɢʜʈ]

Sleeping in on a Saturday.

I literally did this today and it was awesome. Well mostly I watched my brothers play video games while I worked on my story,

So I guess mine is that I like spending a day writing and feeling like I accomplished something and relaxed at the same time.

Having somebody enjoy a book/series I recommended enough to come discuss it, ask questions or recommend it to somebody else.

Answering a question or explaining something and having them say my response was helpful.

[The cheeseman Don't you dare go Hollow!]

Reading anything by Tolkien, Robert Jordan, or Sanderson and knowing that it's better than Harry Potter. Gives that warm fuzzy feeling.

[Ookla de los Cuervos he/him]

helping others, and playing a piano piece well.

Jumping on a trampoline.

[Scars of Hathsin he/him]

Learning a new piano song for the first time in a year

[Through the Living Elan He/Him]

Messing around on the piano and making something that sounds super cool.

[ʟɪɢʜʈ]

Listening to piano

[Edema Rue she/her]

Realizing you have absolutely nothing you need to be doing.

Getting a really cool comfort jacket.

Horses that lick your face and wipe snot all over your back.

Beating people at random party games that get way too competitive.
