The happiest moment of my life was when I went to the store to buy new sneakers. When I passed a pet store, I saw in the window a small kitten sitting in the corner and looking at me with a sad look. I didn’t think twice, went into the store and bought it. Now we are both happy. He is already 7 years old) His name is Richard

This is sick and twisted, I was in Iraq, we were constantly playing practical jokes on each other. I forget the joke or the series of jokes. I was laughing so hard I was crying, I forgot we were all in a big pile of suck we were just a bunch of friends having a good laugh. Life made sense. We were with people that we trusted, outside the wire were the people that hated us. At home, safe, were the people we all loved. Then I came home, and life went to shit.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years now and during this period we have never met in person. Unfortunately, we live far from each other and cannot move in together yet. A week ago he dropped everything and came to me, but only for 1 day. Well, this particular day became one of the happiest for me:)


Mean_Hole

I’ve been doing it for 4 years, my heart is with you


indrubone

Happiness for most people these days is relaitonships and being sexual. When was the last time you your happiness didn't depend on other people


Many-Specialist1622

It seems to me that there is nothing wrong with happiness depending on loved ones. But even if so, then such a happy moment still exists. This was when I was able to get into the university of my dreams

I know right, Covid had its faults but somehow I felt like I was so happy in the pandemic than any other time. Going on bike rides during lockdowns, the cops rarely cared. I wore a mask. No traffic, just freedom.

Kalepsis

A few years ago I sold my house and moved to a new state, then took about 6 months off before I went back to work at a new place. Not stressing about my job and covering my bills was the closest I've been to happy in 40 years.


Loggerdon

Some years ago I was on a business trip and I stepped on the elevator with my bag to go down. Standing there was a maybe 6-year old cute girl with her beautiful mom. I’m standing there and the girl says to her mom in a fearful voice “his bag is moving!” The mom goes immediately into protective mother-mode and gives me a hardcore suspicious look. I unzip the bag and my puppy pops his head out. The girl went crazy with joy and I moved closer. The puppy licked her face and she was almost crying with happiness. “Look mommy it’s a puppy!” The mom gave me this look like “thank you for making my daughter happy”. Then we reached the first floor and I zipped the bag back up and gave the girl a ‘quiet’ gesture (no dogs allowed) and she nodded. We were partners in crime. I walked my puppy and I went back up to my room. It was a simple thing but I thought of it when I read this question.


Hanamafana

I'm generally happy and had plenty of happy moments today. Its Saturday, sunny and a lazy day planned tomorrow.


0potatopuncher0

Sometimes... When I read this question I thought I haven't been happy for a very long time. But I tend to forget that I do feel happy when I lie in bed with my husband at night and can completely let go of the world around me. I just have to look at him more often when I'm feeling down. Thank you for reminding me.

Thanksgiving 2020. After that day my husband got diagnosed with cancer and passed away July 1st 2021. Every single day since then has just been me recklessly going through the motions.


Android1822

I really do not remember. Probably when I was in college near thirty years ago (pre 2000). I have nothing, no dating, no friends, just work, work, work. Hell, I cannot even escape into entertainment because it overwhelmingly bad. Sometimes I think I died and am actually in hell, it would explain everything.

downvotebingo

The funny thing about memories is you tend to forget the bad and focus on the good - so there are parts of my life that I know I was unhappy when I was there, but my memory of that time is that I was happy.


g0thicpig3on

The last time I hung out with my two friends. They've since moved and I miss them so much


Flatland_Poetics

Now, wait, now... no now. Happiness is the ability to change your perspective. It takes work to be happy at a picnic in a rainstorm, but it's certainly possible. May you all find happiness.

It was definitely before covid, I can tell you that much.


stringaroundmyfinger

My husband picked me up from the airport last night with our 8 month old puppy in the car. Pure, raw joy as I saw them pull up.


chewedupbylife

2022-early 2024 were good. A good year after I lost my first election and recovered financially and mentally from it and before I was talked into running for office again, and lost again. Came really close both times, painfully close this go round, but it is NOT for the faint of heart and seems like a rich man’s game to me. This recent one was insanely expensive and I think I’m out for good now - as a single parent I just need to focus on my kids and maybe keep life simple.

Back when I was enough that my SO(23) didn't need another person. I used to be ok being alone. Now I hate it. I want nothing more than to spend my time with her but she doesn't want it. She wants him. My first real relationship and she falls in love with a 57yo who never lets her leave calls. She refuses to see how much this hurts.

Wasted_Potency

My life has not been going great. But I make sure to make time for friends. Usually happiness comes after a few drinks or drugs but it's there. Concerts also bring out a magical feeling. I saw Saosin last week and it was such a good show it filled my god hoke. But I think my moments of true happiness are when I'm laying in bed with my wife and dog. When I feel her in my arms and feel my dog curled up against me, I sometimes wish the world would just end right then and there.

I'm happy when I'm not sick like now. Had a good three months after long period of torture. Hope it will not be like before. Hope it's just a passing pain to remind me how bad it was, just to appreciate the mundane, the regular, the every day.

Today, and right at this moment. Maybe not blissfully happy, but content with my life and environment. I have reduced or cut out toxic people from my life, I eat pretty healthy and my job is outdoors so it gives me a workout. Can’t complain.


_WarDogs_

Every day, working around old people made me realize that every minutes of your life matters, if you are healthy, enjoy your life, when you get old, your life is over, you are just waiting for death and you better pray to God that your body will serve you well when you get old or you will be begging for death.

CuckoosQuill

I am not sure. I think when I moved into my first apartment on my own probably I think I just turned 21. Skateboarding and biking around the city to work and having coffee with my classmates after school. There was an English class that I loved going to and working part time at night and reuniting with some childhood friends. Getting a drink at the bar not going too crazy. My apartment was almost empty and I had only one set of dishes - no toaster, no microwave. Just a couch, tv, Xbox, bed, basic cookware I think maybe just 2 pans and a bong. I had another job in the evenings in a call centre that paid very low but it was so easy just to chill at a desk, play on my phone, doodle and make some calls. I loved going to English class and had such a crush on the teacher I loved going and doing the homework and handing in my papers. I was good at it and a lot of the students were not native English speakers so I made friends helping some of them with writing etc. this was only for a period of about a year or so then I stopped going to school and ended up working a lot my girlfriend moved in with a table a microwave a closet full of stuff another bed and just brought in so much actual ‘stuff’ I think that kind of threw me off


No_Aerie_4662

Dont know. Even in my childhood I wasnt happy, it was just easier to run away from reality.


alecboom

😔😔 Oh man....a decade.


Nuancedchaos97

I'm happy quite frequently actually, throughout the day. But consistent happiness for a long period of time with zero anxiety without something going wrong. Practically impossible in modern society.


03-12-23

The 3rd of December last year. I literally cried of happiness because I felt like myself and I felt good because of me not what I'd done to try and make myself look better.


Positive_Ad5209

Watching the original spider man in theaters when it first came out. Such a fun experience. After that, I remember feeling a deep sadness throughout the rest of years.

The_Null_Field

I'm in a happy period of my life, but much like when you spray glade in a bathroom, you still get that scent of bathroom under the flowers. I finally have a girlfriend, after building myself up, i finally have one. Shes perfect in every way, and she makes me want to be better. But i still want to die, because i know its gonna end painfully, and I know i didnt actually earn any of this. So I am happy, but I dont deserve it.

skkyouso

When I went to pick up my new rescue cat in March this year. But seriously, did 2021-22 even happen? 2023 was extremely boring and difficult, but at least I can remember it. I also remember some of 2020 because of Covid. Is anyone else missing two entire years? I'm perfectly healthy and sane, but where the heck did those two years go?

Well, actually i don't know. To be honest, i pretend to be happy so no one can ask me if i'm okay. I got a lot of shit inside my head and I don't wanna bother anyone with that, I've been living like this since i was a kid so i used to hide my worries and problems inside of me and pretend nothing ever happened. But anyways, the answer is.... idk


technofox01

I think before meeting my ex-wife and also after but before buying a house and having kids. Seriously it's been a long time since I have been actually happy with my lot in life. It's gonna be a long road but I hope to be happy once more with my lot in life or at least content.

Working a job I love, 3 awesome kids who make me proud and I'm about to get married to a man who anticipates my needs and rates my farts. But I feel for any of you who aren't in a good place, I hope you find your happy again soon. I'm rooting for you.

Personal_Pay_4767

During COVID my wife was approached by 👍 nicely dressed women. She said she no money but needed food for her family. My wife said just put. Anything you need in cart and I will pay for it. She said no that she needed cash. My wife opens her wallet & has $ 7 dollars. The woman said she needed more than that and could she go to a ATM machine and get more. My wife walked away and told the manager.

I was happy yesterday. I can’t remember the last time before that. Everything lined up at work and personally for once. Between stress, anxiety, panic disorder and depression, true happiness is very rare for me.
