What brings you joy?

What makes you happy?

Let’s bring people happiness

 

[ericalauren]

Great question! A lot of things bring me happiness. I love my pets and my hobbies, and they bring me a lot of joy.

Seeing, hearing, feeling, and tasting the pleasure I am able to give my partner.

Friendships keep me here

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Making someone feel welcome in threads of mine and ours.

This is SO sad....it has been awhile since I felt REAL joy. I am THANKFUL for a LOT of things and people however.

 

[MsBellaBeeN]

I love this thread topic! Lots of things bring me joy! Laughter is my friend! My family and my community. My pup! I hate to say it lol but my job does too!

Theres glimps of things that brings me joy and moments I treasure very dearly. Sort of a beautiful fantasy you could say, but thats it I am afraid.

I am happy when I see everybody around me happy. My kids, my mum etc, but as for "me" and how I feel? Theres always something missing, so I could say I am TRULY happy.

Being touched, held and loved at the same time brings me joy. BUT the last time I really felt THAT was when I was 15yo or so, and even then it wasn't even true LMAO! sooooo..... So yes, don't ask me about joy or happiness, not unless you wanna see me cry.

I'm replying on this particular comment, but I could have said the same on several.

Been reading some of your posts, and you have such a simple beauty and eloquence to the way you express yourself. A kind of "poet within that can't be taught, but just is.

Have you ever considered coming to the poetry threads and trying your hand at some of the challenges there? If you don't already write poetry, I suspect you may be surprised at how good and gifted you are at it.

Just a thought.

Ohh thank you very much for those kind words!

It never crossed my mind that I could write poetry, stories or anything really, but think I would quite enjoy it, as I write a lot. I am a dreamer, it's easy for me to express myself like this. Never thought someone might be interested in reading what I have to say.

I might give it a try!
Thank you!!

Everybody has a story and that story is always interesting because it's uniquely yours. That's why poetry. And people that aren't interested in what others have to say... They're just too focused on themselves. Trust me when I say you have a very beautiful voice in your writing. I can't wait to see what comes out when you start putting it to actual poetry.

If you don't want to put yourself out there on the poetry boards here yet, there are some good online writers groups, they cover the spectrum from new writers to experienced ones. The best have a good mix of both. Do a Google search and seek out some of these. I'm sure you'll find one that is a good fit and that will help you explore your voice.

 

[JaySecrets]

It's even better if you can get a good writers group that meets in person, if one of those is in your area. But the online thing does at least give you a place to learn and grow and be critiqued and and listen to other voices so you can fine tune your own.

My dog, taking a shower right before bed, loose leaf tea, the first sip of a really good cup of coffee in the morning, listening to and watching people play music/sing, playing music/singing, and dancing.

See local a resident out fishing each morning in the South River in town. I think about how peaceful he must feel there in the water doing what he loves.

 

[colorfulnayyy]

My dog, traveling, being in a nice clean beach, concerts, comedy shows, being around people who uplift me and challenge me intellectually, etc. let’s find out if you can make me happy.

 

[PicassosPleasure]

Learning new ways to enhance an online relationship.

That… is a damn good question. I mean, I’m happy that I finally started writing again after several years of not, but I wouldn’t call it joy. It has been a very long time, and I feel that I’ve had so many experiences that have been, shall we say, less than joyful, that I think they’ve pushed out some near-joy moments.

Let me mention now that I am dealing with anxiety and depression, as well as autism spectrum disorder, and that combination isn’t great. I see pictures of me smiling and looking happy and while I remember the occasion, it feels like it happened to someone else sometimes.

Maybe the last time I felt joy was seeing the first Avengers movie in the theaters?

Not a single mention of teaching babygirls to appreciate and please the cock of @NRJLIVES4ever

I am shocked and dismayed!
