There are quite a few sources of happiness in my life at the moment. A couple of my favorite activities include painting, drawing digitally, and playing video games. When I draw or paint, I enter a bizarre state where time does not exist anymore. I am not able to think about any of the stressors in my life because I am so focused on my current piece. At that point, I feel very at peace. It is not until I finish working that I realize just how happy it makes me. Especially if I have made great progress or created something I really enjoy. Video games are similar in that I do not have to worry about anything going on around me. And I feel a lot of happiness after completing a goal or quest I have been working on for a long time. Lastly, my pets are a great source of happiness for me. Even when they are being naughty, I can’t help but not feel happy around them. They are truly my best friends, and they give me a reason to keep working hard even when life gets difficult. I recognize that even though they need me, I need them just as much. Even as I type this out, my two-year-old tabby cat named Squid is purring away on my lap, trying to distract me from the computer with his cuteness.
