  8. To elaborate on my above answer, i shall say…

    There’s lots of things that make me happy in the short term.. but for me to be happy in the long term, it’d be someone i can trust and talk to, as i said in my above comment.. Just thought I’d point that out.

    What makes me happy is knowing I’m alive and I’ve survived… for a long time I made others responsible for my happiness, but I realised that’s too much pressure to put on someone… So if I can be happy just being me, I’ll be better at making others happy.. I love it when someone loves me being me but until he turns up in my life I’m just going to stand small amidst mountains, feel the weather on my skin and stop to smell the roses all around me :o)

    Further to my previous post… have just remembered I was meant to be trying that positive thinking thing “Cosmic Ordering Service” recently promoted by Noel Edmunds. Basically you just write down your wishes and therefore place your order with the Cosmos. So here goes … my main wish is …. “to find a decent honest man who will be my best mate and love and care about me almost as much as I do him.” This is the one thing I have always wanted in my life … I also believe that 8 is my lucky number … so maybe the powers of the Cosmos could kindly make my wish come true by the 8 August 2006 …. cos that would be 888 ( 8+8+2+6) Sorry for the short notice … but apparently wishes for loving purposes come true quicker.

    wat makes me happy? i honestly can say I dont know as it has been so long since i have been truly happy. I wonder if I eva will be COMPLETELY happy, which at 20 years of age, is slightly upsetting.

    I have moments of happiness dont get me wrong, waking up to a certain someone, stolen kisses , laughing with friends, watching the sun set… they are all moments of relaxed, contented blissful happiness. But to be happy totally happy? wat would make me happy is maybe my life being far more simple and not feeling so pressured and vulnerable and lost. I think happiness is when u r where you wanna be, doing wat u wanna be doing with someone who wants to be there with u as much as you do and without either of u having to sacrifice or lose out on anything.

    wow, all those comments above sure inspired me. lol, and i’ve worked out wat i need to do to make me happy, glad i found this blog ;-)

    My own family (my boyfriend Don and our dog Buddy) Whenever things are terrible, no matter what happens, I know I have the unending love and support from them that allows me to keep going. Sorry, this just seemed like a question I had to answer, more for me than anyone else =]
    Thanks!

    Dancing.
    Dancing with someone.
    Dancing down the street knowing that people think i’m peculiar.
    Soft kisses on my forehead.
    Knowing I’ve helped alleviate someone’s pain.
    Having someone special to care about.
    Bare feet on lush green grass.
    Knowing that someone-special is out there looking for me. (Remembering I must turn on my light so he can find me…)

    It seems like nothing makes me happy nemore, every moment of happiness is closely followed by intense moments of sadness.If happiness was a constant state then i’d be happy.

    At the moment though a laptop that din’t break down every 2 seconds would be nice.

    Getting up every morning and seeing the light from the sun shining in my window. My memories of my ex-boyfriend and how we used to sleep in on Saturdays and just cuddle. I hate being so romantic, but this really made me cry. Seeing so many people saying that doing good makes them happy…it really gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside. Maybe we will be ok in the end. Cheers, Liz

    Being in love with someone whom I absolutely cant get ENOUGH of!!
    Knowing how he feels about me by just looking into his eyes.
    When i dont say a word to him and he knows exactly what is on my mind.
    Someone who loves me against all odds and who will risk everything to be with me.
    Life is way too short to live it not being happy…so dont worry about what other people think about you and just be happy.

    What makes me happy? When I wake up in the morning to the sun shining bright. I know I get it, I really get life and most of us walk around this world not really understanding life. The thing is you have to figure it out on your own, nobody can do that for you.I’m happy I understand life.

    What makes me happy?

    a long walk on streets at midnights,

    being alone in a beach at sunrise and sunset,

    a girl company who is as crazy as me and a hell a kind of lover, loving me and only me,

    spending time with smiling and talkative babies,

    getting wet and dirty on a rainy day,

    and most of all making others happy always makes me happy.

    Why worry about the spelling and grammar? Surely it matters more what the person is saying rather than the form? And anyway we can’t all have the same talents or life would be SO boring! (ps: ever heard of dyslexia? and all the others ways life can stop you doing it “right”?)

    Happiness: knowing Mark Mcgowan is going to eat a swan at the Guy Hilton Gallery, 35 Fournier Street on Saturday 13th January 2007 at 5pm. go for it Mark, just wish I get there and bring you some Duchy of Cornwall chutney to go with it!

    For me, the first flush of love is one powerful happiness drug, especially in the way that the feelings associated with love spill over into my perception of life, surprising me with its beauty - I don’t think that this has ever been expressed better than in these lines from Endymion by John Keats:

    …. but who, of men, can tell
    That flowers would bloom, or that green fruit would swell
    To melting pulp, that fish would have bright mail,
    The earth its dower of river, wood, and vale,
    The meadows runnels, runnels pebble-stones,
    The seed its harvest, or the lute its tones,
    Tones ravishment, or ravishment its sweet,
    If human souls did never kiss and greet?
