Getting paid without having to work.
A stable career path, a loving relationship, and permanent housing.
More concise: Stability.
It's all I ever wanted and seemingly the only thing I can never have even since childhood. I move every 2 years on average and since adulthood that's been from basement apartment to basement apartment and now to a garage with no end in sight... I finally got to the point where I could consider buying a house and then COVID, WFH, and the invesestment parasites all blew up at once and took that away from me... I gave up on the relationship bit years ago.
Right now? Extended time off work without responsibility.
Relief of stress, which is currently made by lack of money. So money, I guess. I think in smaller terms this chocolate chip banana bread will make me short term happy though.
the only thing that could "make" me happy is a change in mindset, perhaps forced by brain damage.
as far as how I will make my own happiness, it comes down to making choices informed by my own values, painstakingly discovered through mistakes, introspection, and connections with others
Or you could rub a cats bellllly?
Not having to go into the office. I like my job.
In the US: Universal healthcare. Having kids and having to think about healthcare even when we're not sick or injured is such a mental drain.
Dopamine and serotonin.
Life stability and security. If all of my bills and debts were taken care of, I would be happy. I love my job as a welder and enjoy what I do. I look forward to the new work week on Monday morning.
I would continue working as a welder, even if I didn't have to worry about money and bills.
I too wish for the Star Trek Universe.
Whats standing in the way of that personally?
right now a shower
If I could convince my friend to stop smoking.
if you hinge your life satisfaction out of how much power you have over others, imagine how satisfying life could be if you focused on the things that are actually in your control!
I know :) But here I have a special reason to care, which is too complex to explain in a short comment.
Tell him you know a way to stop paying a ton of taxes
The exact amount of money I have in debts at the moment.
If I was 100% debt free I could work 3-4 days a week with the same amount of money left as with debts.
This would reduce stress and give me more time and energy to improve myself
Good plan!
Getting to meet in person the close friends I have made online
Getting rid of 35kg of fat.
Long term, low intencity depression doesn't make it easy though.
being a cis woman
Would you settle for being a woman?
My daughter to be happy.
Also, for her to manage a single night with solid sleep, so I'm not replying to threads about happiness on Lemmy at 5am. That would also be nice.
Just one day without tinnitus would make me happy.
Take care of your ears.

"OK, you've finished your first play through. Now go back a handful of decades and don't do the same fuck-ups."
Never needing to work again and actually having energy to do things would probably do the trick.

A friend that both plays the same video games I like so we can play together and also fucks me.
