odd things that make you feel irrationally happy...

Post Reply New Topic

There's a thread for odd things that make you feel irrationally angry. I figure the flip side could use representation as well.
So, odd things that make you feel irrationally happy. Or if not happy, satisfied, or something.

Putting a mirror like shine on a pair of boots.

Adjusting roller bearings until they turn perfectly, like bicycle wheel bearings, bottom brackets.

Moving faster on a bike than the automotive traffic around me.

The sound of thunder. Love it.

It's irrational because overall storms scare me ever since a huge tree fell on the house and the only thing that kept me from getting squashed was that it landed smack on the stone chimney which was located between myself and said tree.

Listening to someone play who is really good at guitar or piano.

When horses come up to me nose to nose and puff air.

Watching a cat clean the fur between their toes.

Someone genuinely acknowledging me, even if it's just for a minute.

Playing a game with my parents, especially when we laugh so hard we can't breathe.

Getting likes or compliments on online forums.

Having things I like for dinner.

Thinking up worlds/ideas/characters with my imagination.

Snow.

^^^^I love snow! One thing that makes me irrationally happy are two hour delays at school. I prefer them over snow days (when we have the entire day off) for some reason !

Paddleboarding.
It's so full on but totally zen at the same time.

Hummingbirds.
And either finches or sparrows, not sure which. Little brown ones that seem to be fat and happy, and also be daredevil stunt pilots as well.
They always make me smile.

-Sleeping with my teddy bear
-Getting my special needs taken care of properly
-Listening to Delerium
-Having a day off from work
-Having a good day at work

Keep calm and stim away.

COFFEE.
I disproportionately love a good cup of coffee. It tastes clean and clear, sweet but bitter at once, soft and silky, warm, heavy, comforting but energizing, it smells amazing, and is just all-around wonderful.
I will literally just sit there and enjoy everything about a simple cup of takeout coffee. It's ambrosia, and for a moment everything is absolutely right with the universe.

Cats. I keep following my cat everywhere and saying out loud whatever they do like 'OH look! Čočka is sitting in the flower pot! I'm growing a cat!' or 'She is kneading my face with her claws, how lovely!' or 'Ahaha she is beating the hell out of the noisy dog!' followed by a 'SO CUTEEE!! How is this even possible!?'.

Turkish black tea in a thin glass.

Touching soft things like my toy/pillow bunny or a cat. Watching them change texture according to the side you are stroking them.

Having somebody scratch my back or head or give me a very deep (hurtful for most) massage.

Shiny metals, piercings

Cats, chocolate, lifting heavier objects, and successfully fulfilled something with (either perceived or actual) high stake risk.

Unexpected colour co-ordination!
Today as I was walking home I saw a light blue car and a turquoise-blue car parked next to each other in the road. From where I was at the time, the light blue car lined up with a house with light blue painted around the windows and door, and the turquoise car lined up with the house next door which had turquoise-blue painted around the windows and door. It was so fantastic I laughed out loud.

For some odd reason the national anthem of the former Soviet Union helps calm me down when I get really upset with something. Say what you will about Communism but they sure did knew how to write a song.
