Happiness is one of those things I don't think too much about. I don't like to just do things "because I want to be happy". I know that the moment I start making decisions that are solely based on what makes me happy, I will end up making a lot of regrettable decisions.
Don't get it twisted though. I still enjoy being happy and I've been able to figure out the things that genuinely give me that feel-good vibe that comes from being happy.
Some of the things that genuinely make me happy are as follows;
1. The Time I spend with Family.
The last 3 weeks have been a thrilling experience for me because my sister came to spend some time in my place. This is her first time visiting me ever since I started living alone and I got well set to make her visit memorable. I didn't even have to do anything crazy or spend a wild amount.
Her presence actually helped me to save up more because we always had homemade meals to eat. Having her around has been a fun experience. I usually check up on my siblings and my parents to be sure they are doing alright. I wish I could casually travel more often to see each of them, but I can't do that.
Now that I have a sister in a place where I can have my eyes on her, I made sure that every minute of her stay was worth it. She got to experience traveling by train while in my place and she also had other fabulous experiences. Seeing her happy also makes me happy.
2. Relaxing with Podcasts, TV shows, Football, or Music.
I haven't watched any football since April, just before the last game week of the 2023/2024 EPL season. I will still have to wait until the 3rd week of August when a new EPL season will begin. But, when club football kicks off, I already know that I will be keeping tab on a lot of games that will be played by Liverpool in all competition.
That's how much I enjoy watching Liverpool play football and my lady has also become a Liverpool fan. So, when we cross paths with each other, we always create time to watch football together. The same goes for TV shows. We watch a lot of those together and even when we are away from each other, tvshows have become one of the things we do in our spare time for relaxation.
As for Podcasts, I don't think a day goes by without me checking them out. That's something I do because a lot of the people I listen to their podcasts and the podcasting channels I listen to on YouTube are very insightful. Joe Rogan's podcast is one of those. Same with Jordan Peterson's and Patrick Bet David's podcast. I enjoy listening to those.
Happiness is real and one of the things I want to really get right is my marriage and the way my family will be built. When I get married, I hope it will be one that will make me want to always run back home and spend quality time with my family. Hehe.
