Someone else’s genitals on my face.
I never thought I’d say this, but going to work actually makes me happy. I work with autistic and disabled children, and man, they give me life. Helping them learn and grow, seeing them pick up and apply new skills, hearing their unique observations, and witnessing their creativity all bring joy to my day.
I’m currently waiting for my first learner of the day to arrive, and I know that when he gets here he’ll be making the most joyful squeals as he plays with his favorite ball. His smile is like caffeine mixed with sunshine, energizing me every morning even on the hardest days.
Don’t get me wrong, this job has its challenges, but the fulfillment I get from working with this population is immeasurable. It took many years of crappy jobs with crappy management before I got here, and I’m glad to say I think I finally found the job where I belong.
I’m glad people like you exist. You’re making the world a better place
Oh, thank you for this interesting perspective! It’s kind of rare for me to hear people to say that they like their jobs because many of them despise what they do because (most of the time) of unfair compensation and unfulfillment in life. Also because negativity shows up more often on social media.
Substance abuse and PC gaming
This is so specific but I love permissive licenses for software and other things.
Someone giving a crap about me and taking care of me. I take care of everyone and everything in my family and work. I had a short stay in the hospital for a surgery. Ironically, even with recovering from surgery, it remains one of my happiest memories because everyone took care of me.
must be nice. never had that experience. been hospitalized a few times and nobody showed up, not even family. they just called and told me i was a selfish jerk for getting sick/hurt.
I meant the nurses.
they are paid to be nice to you.
stay in a hotel and you’ll get the same treatment
I’ll take what I can get.
Being single makes me happy. I used to want a bf because of loneliness but after my 1st relationship, it traumatized the hell out of me. 2 and a half years of crying myself to sleep. Never fucking again. It made me scared to date people because I don’t want to feel that much pain ever again. Also seeing and growing up with parents with a unhealthy relationship made me wanna reconsider if I wanna find a bf and get married.
I so much calmer, happier, and more content than ever. I proved to myself that I can rise above the hell I survived and be okay by myself. I was able to find new friends, develop new hobbies, learn a lot about myself and the world. I like being single; no one is cheating on you, no stress, no drama about a partner. I am at peace.
Being loved and respected by the people in my life.
I found it by reflecting on the things that truly gave me fulfillment in life. Once you strip away the noise the only thing is left is the people in your life.
Mostly spending time with my boyfriend. My life currently revolves mostly around the weekends because that is the time we can meet more often.
Peace and harmony.
Not in the hippie way, but just calm and mostly quiet, no chaos.
Yeah the world isn’t for me.
Nature, the sea. dogs, cats, some family. Some friends. That eureka moment when you grasp a new concept, that’s my drug of choice.
Being able to paint when I have time and can be alone
My nephew
Sex
Not waking up before 730am.
If what I’ve been lead to believe is true then that’d be chemicals :P
