30-Day Blogging Challenge Day 27: WHAT MAKES ME HAPPY

over 3 years ago

Good morning! Look at that! I'm down to my last three posts for the blogging challenge. I admit to have skipped some but at least I'm almost at the end! Lol.

The blogging challenge was initiated by @tegoshei. If you wish to join, check her post for the list of challenges. Let's Do A 30-Day Blogging Challenge!!!

The 27th challenge is about sharing what makes you happy. Hmmm.. While I was staring at these words, my thoughts began playing backwards sifting through memories and level of happiness of those moments. So I came up with 7 things that makes me happy.

HAPPY STRAYKAT

Peaceful Inside and Outside

Nothing beats the feeling of being at peace. When there is peace in my mind and heart and on my surroundings, that is enough for me to feel happy. The noises in my thoughts and on my surroundings stresses me a lot, enough to lose my focus and precious thoughts. 😂 That's also why I prefer doing things at dawn or very early in the morning because everyone is still asleep which means quiet surroundings. It's also painful to carry negativity with you and so I believe I'd really be happy when I've finally let go of them.

People Around Me Are Happy

I easily absorb the emotion of another person. If one gets angry, I'd get frustrated and as well. Likewise when people around me are sad, negative, etc. So it is important that people around me are happy because if they are, then I would feel the same. Thus, giving me peace.

Enough Sleeping Time

I just don't function well when I lack sleep. I get irritated easily and most likely all the thoughts in my head all throughout the day is about imagining myself finally getting into my bed to catch up with my sleep.

Eating Favorite Foods & Successfully Trying to Make New Food

Give me something cheesy, matcha, and ube, and I'd be happy. Lol. There's this line from a popular chocolate bar which says, "You're not you when you're hungry", and that is true! Hahaha!

Well, of course, one of my happiness comes from being able to successfully try making a new dish or baking something I've never done before. As someone who can't cook, these rare kitchen successes bring me genuine happiness and pride. 😂

Finishing My Drawings

Who wouldn't be happy when you've finished something? Of course, it makes me happy when I'm done drawing because I can finally get out from my chair and post it here on Hive and on my Instagram later on! Hehe!

Listening to Music

Listening to music is very important for me. It calms the thoughts in my head, keeps me awake, and even muffles the noises around me, improving my focus. My happiness for music becomes even greater when I get to watch their live concerts. Being together with fellow fans is really a dream come true for any music fan.

Fireworks

This one may be simple but watching fireworks gives me a sense of hope. Every burst of colors on the black sky is like the sky telling me to hold on, that one day you'll rise and burst with beautiful shining colors and everyone will look up to admire you're beauty. Ah, so much explanation. Fireworks really makes me happy. I love hearing the crackling sound as it fades into the darkness. Every year I make sure to attend one or two fireworks events in my town or on a nearby city.

That's all for the blog challenge 27! Always remember that happiness must come within you and not from someone or something else. Create your own happiness! And make sure it is yourself you're making happy, not somebody else! :)
