- What makes you feel good? What gives you joy, energy, and fun?
- shopping
- reading a good book
- writing letters
- spending time with good friends
- getting ready for and going on a date
- playing piano (i think? sometimes i wonder if this really makes me happy or it SHOULD make me happy)
- singing karaoke (ALONE!)
- new journals/paper
- craft supplies
- pictures of loved ones and fun times
- laying on the beach
- taking trips
- cooking good meals/trying new recipes
- laughing
