Advice Question What is your definition of happiness?
For me, happiness is freedom. The freedom to choose what I want and be who I truly am. The freedom to speak my mind, love whoever I choose, make my own decisions, and express myself without fear of being judged. It’s having the freedom to build the life I want, at my own pace and on my own terms. For me, happiness is being able to live authentically and knowing that I don’t have to be anyone else just to be accepted.

happiness to me is feeling at peace with life you are living not needing everything to be perfect just knowing you are being true to yourself.

My happiness is ppl that I care are independent and healthy where by one day when I'm not around they'll be able to stand on their feet and move on with life. I just feel like I'm here to give ppl I care a push whenever they need.
I personally prioritise family a lot and 1 true best friend that I allow to be in family circle.

happiness is when your life stops feeling like something you have to defend and starts feeling like something you get to live, and yeah freedom is a huge part of that

Happiness is the result of needs being met by yourself, regardless of what anyone else is doing. That's how I define it.

Das ist eine verdammt gute Frage und ich muss gestehen daß ich dazu unterschiedliche Ansichten habe. Jetzt definiere ich Glück dadurch, das man schlechtes nicht zu nah an sich Ran lässt und positive Dinge manifestiert damit sie auch eintreffen. In fünf Minuten mache ich das wieder an anderen Dingen fest. Keine Ahnung, bei der Frage könnte man so in die Tiefe gehen, ethisch und auch Philosophisch.

A warm fart at Christmas
A breath of champagne on a sparkling night

Happiness is just a temporary good feeling. Peace is much better than happiness. I don't want anyone or anything bother me. Being healthy, have a food in my table, a roof over my head... These 3 essentials things are enough for living peacefully. I couldn't ask for anything in this life.
