What makes me happy?

As of August 4th, 2025.

The world right now is in upheaval and will be that way for who knows how long (unless you know history cycles/patterns), so why not remind myself of what makes me happy in hopes of some silver linings.

  1. Coffee with plant milk
  2. Vegan pizza
  3. Sunrises
  4. Squirrels climbing trees
  5. Kpop Demon Hunters soundtrack
  6. Sourdough (especially with vegan butter)
  7. Diced tomatoes with soy sauce, nooch, and chili crisp
  8. Clean crisp bedsheets
  9. Butterflies
  10. Watching Barbie/Bratz/Monster High movies
  11. Seeing people be courageous and go after their dreams
  12. The disintegration of the patriarchy
  13. DPR
  14. LGBTQ+ representation in the media
  15. Stationary (journals, pens, etc.)
  16. Writing (journal entries, blog posts, stories)
  17. CATS
  18. Salty snacks (corn nuts, potato chips, pita crisps)
  19. Dancing around my apartment
  20. Mint chocolate vegan ice cream
  21. BTS
  22. Reading fiction that was not influenced by booktok
  23. The color purple in all tints and shades
  24. Everything exfoliating shower
  25. Cute boots
  26. Money being added to my bank account
  27. Sitting in my cozy chair
  28. Successfully living alone and taking care of myself
  29. Vegan nachos
  30. Autumn mornings when it’s 70 degrees with a slight breeze

This list isn’t ranked highest to lowest of things that make me happy, it’s just the order that they all popped into my head. There are probably going to be people, places, and things that I didn’t list but that’s perfectly fine. What makes us happy and adds to our cups will change over time. I am just glad that I can have this list here to show where I find happiness at this time and maybe it will inspire others to look around a bit more. Because it really is the little things.
