Sunlight Through Leaves by ~Beboots on deviantART
Sometimes I think that I'm anti-depressed, if that's possible. I try to see things that interest me and make me happy in boring, everyday events.
Things that make me happy, every day:
1) Clever puns that I've never heard before (and sometimes puns that I have)
2) Sitting in the back of the bus on the way to university when the vehicle goes over a sizeable bump - and all of us back there leave our seats for a brief moment. :3 It doesn't happen everyday, but that makes it something novel. I'm not sure why, but I smile everytime it happens.
3) Sun shining on water, or through water.
4) Seeing birds fly upwards. Half of the time when they land, they look realy ungraceful. It doesn't make me smile as much, or, at least, not in the same way. Watch a duck land on water - it's pretty comical, sometimes. ;)
4) Listening to foreign language music and suddenly understanding a line with no translation. Like, listening to "Gaudete" and suddenly realizing the meaning of "Gaudete Christus est natus ex Maria virginae gaudete", or sitting in a Chinese restaurant and suddenly realizing that the lantern right above your head has the character for gold (金) on it.
5) Seeing someone play a harp or other string instrument really, really well. You can't just produce good music - you must have beautifully graceful hands as well.
6) Seeing a couple hold hands or walk arm-in-arm in public. But not more than that. I hate it when people grope each other or make out in a public place. Platonic = love, sometimes. :)
7) Having one of those rabbits that run around campus come up really, really close to you, and not get scared of the crazy human.
8) A genuine smile and hug from someone you know.
9) Having someone call you by name when you didn't realize they even knew who you were. (example: professors in a really big class randomly recognizing you from your paper or questions you've asked in e-mails) I like knowing that people put a name to my face.
10) Learning something completely new yet makes complete sense.
