TOPIC | What brings you joy?
1 2 3
So... I've been having a horrible week. You know, one of those where it's hard to find positives in anything. But then I realized - happiness usually rubs off on others!

Sooo I'm wondering what kind of things in y'alls lives bring you joy? Pets, shows, friends, recent events... anything! As long as it makes you happy

I personally really love my boyfriend and my best friend and hlvrai :] and early 2000s cartoons!! But those three things always manage to lift my mood a ton

Drawing makes me really happy :) For me making my webcomic and telling one of my stories is bringing joy to my life. I guess that's just the storyteller in me speaking though.

Another thing that brings me joy is seeing my baby, a fat cat named Ham whom I adore. He literally purrs if I look at him and honestly, after a long study session there's nothing like petting him for a couple minutes to destress.

My banjo brings me great joy as well, I must say! (Although Hammy hates it lmao) Since my room is far away from the rest of the house I can play music without worrying about angry relatives for the most part. One of the few drawbacks of banjos lmao.

- My best friend. I honestly couldn't tell you what it was that drew us together, but when we clicked, we clicked and have been pretty inseparable since. She can be a bit overprotective because of my health issues (she's always worried something is going to happen to me and also comes to my doctor appointments so she can know firsthand if I have to do any diet changes, medication changes, etc.), but she's also the one person in the world I know has my back without hesitation.

- My friend's daughter I help raise. I've always bonded with my friend's kids, but with her it was different from the first time I held her on the day she was born. And she always makes me laugh because she will absolutely swear that I am NOT a grown up, nor am I simply a human. I can be in the worst mood and she can snap me out of it. She may not be my kid, but I couldn't possibly love her more if she were.

- My girlfriend. I have honestly no idea what she sees in me, but she makes me deliriously happy. She doesn't get upset that my best friend is an attractive woman and never doubted that we're more like siblings (so many, many people assume we're something else when we're not and never have been), nor does she have an issue that I'm involved in raising a kid that isn't mine (she fell right into the fun/spoiling aunt role). The only times she ever gets upset with me are when I say something negative about myself because she can tell I honestly believe what I say. And she's never tried to change who I am, only encouraging me to eat better and take a little better care of myself, and trying to make me stop believing some of the negative things I believe about myself. Her family is also amazing and supportive.

- My kitty, Prudii (her name means "shadow" in the Star Wars Legends version of the Mandalorian language). She's a brat, but I love her to bits. If I'm having one of my anxiety attacks, she seems to know and will work extra hard to be cute and affectionate. If I'm not feeling well, she gets a bit protective and won't leave my side (more than her usual need to be near me). The only time she's not trailing me is when my friend's daughter is here and she'll split her time between us, and will sleep near her on the nights she stays over.

- Writing. I don't do it as a hobby or anything, but there's something I just love about developing characters and worlds and their interactions. I have probably a dozen now that are all in various stages of fleshed out, and my most developed and favorite one has a pair of characters that I always come back to when I'm feeling low. These people that exist only in my head just make me happy :) It's nice. Sometimes they pop up in my head when I'm busy with other things, but I don't mind; I just jot down the idea in a google doc and come back to them later.



- My best friend, who's been tolerating my insanity talking to me continuously and hanging out when possible. They're the only person who's bothered to keep contact with me through the whole current events issue (and honestly, even before that), and they let me talk to them about whatever (I'm the person who can talk for HOURS and not shut up if you get me started, but I usually get pretty nervous around people when I ramble.) Honestly they're a saint for putting up with me for so long and staying my friend for years and years. They're probably the only reason I'm still sane TBH. They're on FR so they might see this hRK-
you know who you are :)



- Listening to music on repeat for ages. Most people get annoyed when they listen to the same music for hours but I just relax. I love the few bands I listen to. And, when I first got into the genre of music I listen to now, it helped with a major personality shift and helped me change the way I saw myself. Honestly some specific songs always cheer me up with the memories. I think it's something I'll never forget.

I have a lot of things that make me happy, so this might be a semi-long list.

- Talking to friends
- Flight Rising
- Watching Anime or TV shows
- Drawing
- Listening to music
- Playing literally any instrument (Viola, piano, guitar, bass, ukulele, kalimba, et cetera..)
- Playing Games
- Looking at Fanart
- Just making sure that I have a good self care routine! Like making sure to drink water, stretch out, and sleep. It just feels nice to know that you're taking good care of yourself, I guess.

That's all that I can think of for now. I really do hope that the rest of your week gets better!

how my twin has started reffering to our friends as "(adjective) gf/bf/nbf", so our athletic friend is muscle gf, our business friend is money bf, and our she/they friend is goth gf.

how I write...
i write gay pining boys. and fight scenes. and shapeshifter transformations. exclusively.

spooky season/cold season. s w e a t e r s.

Drawing is always gonna be a favorite. It's just what I do!

Getting tasks done that I was supposed to be doing is also pretty fun and sexy since I have ADHD and have a hard time focusing on things I'm not interested in doing (a la schoolwork)

I also enjoy getting to wear fun clothes! What you wear really makes the person, y'know?
