What’s bringing you joy?
I’m aware that it makes people cringe, but it’s so true that I’ve never been more happy; more bottoms than a top could ever ask for… Enough to over come the negativety from all the judgemental or bitter queens.
Stoked for you, and Iove that description ❤️
Not more stoked than I; I’ve never had a busier social life and my asocially autistic ass is still surprised by it each time I get another invite.
I’m not a top, but I know that feeling, and it’s amazing. That was my entire year last year. It was so freeing and empowering. Don’t do things that harm the sustainability of that like meth or smoking. Keep your health up and keep drinking water and hygiene. Take care of yourself and you’ll just continue to get more and more powerful :)
I never thought of it as powerful before and I like it! Lol
:D
Super happy for you and wishing you lots more happy years ahead! ❤️
I made a shit tonne of brownies and ive had 2 cups of sugar in one day alongside 5 cups of coffee. WHAT A DAY TO BE ALIVE
PS. Folks add pomegranate molasses to your pantry and your brownies. One of my favourite ingredients to give a dish complex depth in flavour, works with sweet and savory.
Sugar for all its supposed evils really does bring me daily joy
You should also try date molasses. You can find it at basically any Arab market.
Its summer here and I hate summers!! But I feel so greateful and happy that I am in a safe and comfortable enough environment to be able to be naked whenever it is too hot.
This is such a privilege considering I am a girl.
As a never nude I commend your bravery and I hope you enjoy it to the full extent of the law
A friend just had his first kid yesterday, he’s so happy it’s honestly contagious. Everyone in our group is already doting the kid and he’s only 12 hours old.
New life is the gift that keeps on giving ❤️
This post. There are a lot of negative news in the world and Lemmy feels often pessimistic. Reading everybody’s answers made me feel lighter, so thank you for the question
I’m glad you are enjoying it, and as am I, it’s been so nice to read about all the good in everyone’s lives.
I feel like Lemmy is kind of like anything else in that you get out of it what you put into it to a degree.
Wedding prep
I think a lot of people find that stressful, but really you get to tailor a big party that includes all of the closest people in your life to see you celebrate love
I’m more excited for the future after the wedding, to be honest, haha. It’s just most fun to be in the moment right now is all.
My cat has been extra cuddly lately. Earlier she slept in my arms using one as a pillow.
Cats rule ❤️
If everything goes according to plan, I’m moving to Europe.
Which country do you plan to move to?
France
live in canada rn, definitely gonna do the same.
The fact i already have citizenship from birthright helps
From Canada?! Why? (If I may ask)
Partly a cultural thing, i already speak french fluently and i like the culture in france more than the culture of Québec (canada’s french speaking province, where i live).
But also practical, i want to live in a walkable city and the only real option in Québec is almost as expensive as living in paris’ 19 arrondissements. I could find a nice place that’s less expensive to live in in france, at least, i hope.
edit: where are you moving from, actually?
Ok I get it now.
From the middle-east. I’m going there to find a software developer job, hopefully.
I’m actually looking at a similar job :)
Good luck though! I’ve heard that immigrating to france is pretty hard if you don’t have bloodright citizenship
That’s so cool!!
It’s gonna be!
Thunder, lightening, the sound of rain on my window.
Love a nice storm, so relaxing in a way
Post surgery sick leave. My body is still a bit fucked but it’s also the most time off I’ve had in one go in years.
Rest well and I hope you make a full recovery and enjoy this time of peace in your life
Thank you!
The possiblities. The potential. Recently I have overcome my trauma and I have energy to spare on doing things I want to do.
Yes, this is a great outlook, you can do anything!
Not really anything but I can do valuable and meaningful stuff.
love my dog
Good dog!!
Actually, the thing that is causing me stress is also my source of joy.
I quit weed last week. Going through withdrawals which are pretty bad, but I know in the long term, it’s going to be worth it to have a clear mind.
Been there too many times to count, you got this!
Partner and kitties. When they (kitties) aren’t screaming at me while I’m on the phone for work while wfh. So fucking rude. That’s sarcasm. No one seems able to infer it anymore.
Cats are brats but too cute so they can get away with whatever
Hi all,
I have enjoyed all of the replies in this thread, and it has brought me happiness to read about yours.
I also recognize that not everyone is feeling joy right now, and that’s ok too, life is not always fun to live, sometimes it’s downright brutal. If you’re going through a time like that, I wish you the best in getting through it, there are few forces stronger than the power of the human will.
I think there are a few main themes here in the replies that seem to be spirit boosters, and let’s be honest none of these are unexpected, but I think it can be nice to have a reminder of what’s good.
In no particular order :
- Pets
- Family
- Friends
- Children
- Partners
- Accomplishments
- Projects
- Art
- Hobbies
- Freedom
- Teaching
- Health
Now I don’t think you need to have every one of these things in your life to truly be happy, but if you’re feeling like nothing is bringing you joy, maybe one of these things might.
I think most importantly, gratitude is the attitude, if something is making your life better, taking a second to recognize it can make it feel even better. If someone is bringing you joy, make sure they know it deep down in their soul ❤️
