Simplest thing that makes me happy

Happiness is an emotional state in which you are ecstatic about something excellent that has happened or is about to happen, making you feel good and pleased. Simply said, it is the polar opposite of melancholy.

I'd like to share some of the simplest things that make me happy, and I don't have a choice but to be happy.

SEEING AN OLD FRIEND

Yeah, I have some buddies who I don't have their contact information for various reasons and haven't seen in a long time; some may be my primary school classmates, while others may be childhood buddies who left the community because their parents found better employment or moved to a different apartment.

When I meet them and we recognize each other, it makes me happy, and we talk for a bit, exchange contact information, and plan to meet up again in a more convenient area.

SOMEONE TELLING ME GOOD LUCK OR HAVE A BLESSED DAY;

That's one of the encouraging words I love to hear when I'm attempting to prepare for anything crucial that I truly need, such as a test or a job application. That individual genuinely cares about me and wishes me well, and I will naturally encourage myself to surround myself with similar people.

SPENDING TIME WITH MY PET;

Going for a walk with my dog, and what I like about it is that my dog is quite large, so people stare at me as I walk down the road. Though it's an estate, there aren't many people wandering, the few people asking me for the dog's name makes me feel happy because it's the only time I have conversations with people who live on my estate.

LISTENING TO MUSIC;

This is undoubtedly one of my favorite things to do, and I have a few favorite artists who make excellent songs, including Wizkid, Juice WRLD, Burna Boy, Ed Sheeran, and Travis Greene. Though I have many favorites, I'll take this chance to share a few of my favorites, which include Ocean Eye by Billie Eilish, Stay High by Juice WRLD, Heart on Ice by Rod Wave, Outside by Buju, and Burna Boy's whole discography.

Music has a strong influence on my mood, which is why I listen to Gospel music as well as songs that lighten my mood, which are generally hip hop. I have a playlist for every emotion I'm in, as well as when I'm feeling low or mentally unprepared for anything.

WATCHING KIDS SMILING, LAUGHING AND PLAYING TOGETHER;

Before I returned to school, all of our friends and relatives came to the family house for Thanksgiving, and I was surrounded by children. As a result, I had to download animated movies, and when we lost interest, we switched to the children's program on DStv.

I had a great time with them in the little time I had with them, and I loved every minute of it, from interacting to watching movies to playing video games to taking them out for ice cream.

Playing video games

However, there are some video games that I enjoy playing and am fairly good at at least one of them. But my favorite game is pro evolution soccer, also known as pes, and defeating me in pes requires a high level of expertise.

COD, PUBG, Grand Theft Auto, and more games are still favorites of mine.

What are the little things that people do or you personally do that makes you happy?

Thanks for reading, I really appreciate 💙
