Happy! It's something that brings a smile to your face, puts the spring in your step and places a healthy glow on your body. We have opportunities to feel good every day of our lives, and whether they be big or small the things that amplify our grins can be incredibly unique with intriguing motivations and reasons behind them. Whatever the case may be, they offer highlights to the day or an positive shift in the daily grind.

Share the items, instances or people that help liven your life, but even more so elaborate on WHY they have the effect they do.

    this is and should continue to be a really good weekend for me

    a couple of my high school friends are back from college for the weekend, and last night was the first time I've seen them in months and the first time I've seen one of them so much as touch alcohol, so that was really fun

    and we're going in a group to visit cal, where I have like a million other old friends I haven't seen in too long and where I should be able to more thoroughly ditch this nasty sobriety that's been bugging me for the past few months

    so I'm pretty happy about all that! hooray

    I just went through some mega shit times, but stuff is pretty cool right now. Some awesome girl wants to date me, I'm finally catching up in school, and the insane amounts of awesome video games that are coming out is definitely keeping me busy.

    I don't get people who try to drag out failed relationships

    I certainly hope things go well, but at least you recognize if you can't work whatever out then it's time to move on

    it's one of those things where the emotional part is there in spades but the physical part isn't necessarily

    neither of us is retarded about things so if we break up we will still be best friends pretty much

    people drag out failed relationships out of a sense of hope, i think, so i wouldn't rag on them

    I used to work with this dude who dated this lady from another department at the Starbucks head office and they were together for at least 3 years while I was working there. I remember once a bunch of us went for beers after work and for some reason he mentioned that they hadn't had sex for over a year (of course she wasn't there). We just stared at him in disbelief and we all asked why the fuck he was still dating her. he was so fucking whipped and it was hilarious because in the office he came across as a very outspoken, no bullshit kind of guy and I realized at that moment it was just a front.

    I feel bad for guys like that. Probably because that's more or less the type of person I am. There's always some reason to stick around, even if it's completely outweighed by the reasons not to.

    yeah but you don't know this dude
    he was staying in the relationship because he was fucking whipped, not because they had some deep soul connection

    they'd been making the beast with two backs earlier in their relationship, then they stopped

    that's always a sign that something's very wrong

    look, if it's mutually consensual to stop having sex for some reason then sure
    but if one partner just fucking cuts the other off cold turkey for over a year, that's a pretty obvious sign something's wrong

    I am definitely going to have to agree. Unless there is some medical reason behind it, shit has gone sour.

    A lot of people around these parts are probably thinking "but I don't have anything substantial like a girlfriend or a job or self respect to be happy about. How can I participate in this happy thread?" Talk about some of the smaller joys in your life and how you came about them or why they perk up your day.

    An odd example to start on: Using stalls in public bathrooms over urinals is always a small plus. They might not be as quick or as efficient as a urinal but sometimes privacy and relaxation are great amidst the hubbub in a mall or food court. This started due to repeated occasions back in Edmonton where dudes would blatantly try to grab me or rub up while business was being done, one aggressive case resulting in an unconscious hobo. Since then, it's nice to have a full on break instead of just the pit stop.

    Very minor and kinda odd, but an amusing positive nonetheless!
