OH MY GOSH EREN HOW DID I NOT SEE THIS??? Idk how long this was in there but thank you for the ask this is so sweet of you ;;;; <333

Ok uhhh,,,5 things that make me happy!

1) Chickens and crabs! Idk why but the past few years something in my brain unlocked and now these creatures are just pure serotonin machines for me. I've got so many lil porcelain AND plush chickens now and they all make me :]

2) Hanging out with my best friend! We've been friends since 1st Grade (so about....15ish years now?) and I really enjoy being with her (or frankly just talking to her on the phone/through text). We just get each other and share similar opinions/like a lot of the same things :]

3) My cats! (btw there's mentions of pet death/cancer here so. y'know) We got Elmer when I was 14 and Salem/Stella in October of 2019 (which was around the time our last dog, Pumba, passed away from hemangiosarcoma, so getting them seemed like a blessing in disguise as they helped distract me from my grief). Elmer is like a snarky old man who will love on you one second and then bite you the next, Salem is a very talkative guy who loves attention AND pets (and I also affectionately call him Spaghetti cause he's long like a noodle), and Stella who used to be more affectionate (at least with my mom and I, she seems to love my dad more) but still has her moments. Regardless she's a pretty cat (she's a Lilac-Point Siamese iirc??) and when she does make noise it's high in pitch and really cute :"]. If I'm feeling down or need some kinda contact with another living being when my parents aren't home (like if I watch/read/listen to something really disturbing and I get paranoid), being around them helps me relax :]

4) Any of my comfort media! I'm talking about things I can rewatch/replay/reread/etc again and again and it still makes me as happy/entertained as I was the first I saw them. This includes Attack on Titan (mostly for the characters, since the story is largely dark/depressing with some comedy/hope/optimism sprinkled in every so often), Bear in the Big Blue House, Power Rangers Mystic Force, Ultimate Spider-Man (PS2), Postal 2, Happy Feet, Ghost Rider, Twitches, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, iCarly, Scooby-Doo (2002), Super Granny 3 (a VERY obscure game that I still adore), Grand Theft Auto San Andreas and ISPY Spooky Mansion Deluxe!

5) Treating myself! I'm mainly talking about occasionally splurging and buying something for myself, but it can also be just taking some time to do something fun, like watching something I've been meaning to watch or playing a game when the urge hits, even if I was planning on doing something else that day! Back in April I bought the remaining SnK pins I was missing from an Etsy shop I like, and even more recently I bought some of those Bohug Pride stickers and that Fuit Gummi charm that I've been eyeing for a while. If I had a job and/or a stable income I would do it more often, but I enjoy buying stuff for myself when I can :3
