Never needing to work again and actually having energy to do things would probably do the trick.
We can be friends
It helps, but then you have to supplant your own meaning life, or one can very quickly spiral into doing nothing and becoming depressed. Capitalism sucks, but work doesn’t; it gives us direction and purpose.
My friend, I assume, and I find plenty of meaning in accomplishing simple tasks and finding interesting ways to express ourselves. No labor needed. Only little rabbit holes to constantly fall into.
Edit: btw I don’t approve of all the downvotes you got. A lot of meaning can be found in, exhausting, intense, hard work. Most of that is stripped away by being forced to do it, though.
If I learned how to prioritize sleep without feeling guilty
I do it like this. The world’s a better place for everyone if I’m properly rested. Especially me.
Probably a loving partner, and enough therapy to be able to have a healthy relationship. But that’s a lot of work, so I mostly try to be happy in my solitude.
I’m a person who enjoys their solitude. I know my partners not the same but I also know there are other people who very much like to stay to themselves. Maybe you can find someone who you can both be in solitude together with.
That would be great, but I’m pretty bad at meeting new people so 🤷
A few thousand dollars.
💯
That’s totally doable. Good on you.
I wish it were.
No, I get it. But it’s not like asking for world peace or something.
Got a few and it didn’t make me happier past a day
I mean when a few thousand is all that stands between you and homelessness…
I’m at this point as well
My daughter to be happy.
Also, for her to manage a single night with solid sleep, so I’m not replying to threads about happiness on Lemmy at 5am. That would also be nice.
World peace and free drugs
world at peace and free from drugs
If it turns out that the Nintendo Switch 2 can dispense coffee.
Jokes aside, I’m already happy! What would make me even happier is getting around to finishing this drawing…soooo many hairs 😂
Save some serotonin for the rest of us, would ya.
My serotonin receptors: No you good. Carry on.
To get the kids to bed and start up a video game. That’s all. That’s all it takes for me now a days.
simple pleasures
Life stability and security. If all of my bills and debts were taken care of, I would be happy. I love my job as a welder and enjoy what I do. I look forward to the new work week on Monday morning.
I would continue working as a welder, even if I didn’t have to worry about money and bills.
I too wish for the Star Trek Universe.
Whats standing in the way of that personally?
Well I am happy, but would be happier if the public transit here was good. Because the city would be so much better.
More money would make me less anxious but I have a reasonable lifestyle already (only took a half century and 4 wage earners in the household) and am satisfied with it.
I didnt know i would be saying this today but I hope you get the public transit of your dreams.
Financial freedom
I wish I knew.
Need a good brain storming sesh?
I’m not sure if that will help. I’ve been what people would call emotionally numb for a while. Most of how I come across as feeling comes from memory of feeling that way.
I think this applies to me too. Being properly medicated helps. End of the day though I’m not really sure what would “make me happy.” Personally, I’d like to reduce stressors and spend more time being creative. I usually don’t have the mental capacity to stay focused enough after work.
I do get glimpses of happiness. I’m probably more in touch with my vulnerable side, though. Finding something that will release some water from my eyes always gets backfilled with a feeling of relief and joy. Last time I got high and watched the boy the mole the fox and the horse, I was balling. It felt good. I just hope you don’t take pride in the hardened shell that’s grown around you. You’ll never be motivated to chisel away at it.
Name checks out hugs @[email protected] Maybe not something I’d feel for myself, but I’d be happy being here for you if we find each other around and there’s ever anything you might need, such as a favor or collab. Time spent with friends and other “apophenia” are the closest I get to being normal in this regard anyways.
Dopamine and serotonin.
In the US: Universal healthcare. Having kids and having to think about healthcare even when we’re not sick or injured is such a mental drain.
