What is your definition of happiness?
What do you think makes you happy?
What do you do to try to reach it?
I personally like the definition of happiness being a state of being, rather than pleasure, which is an outside stimuli making you feel good.
Accourding to that every college age person I know is just going on pleasure. lol
I also think think happiness is freedom for myself, i dont care much about money though i know its needed, and so isnt a job, but i value free time to learn and apply what I learn.
One of my best recent memories was walking around with survival gear like a hobo with my friend all day, and then laying down in this grass triangle (its was sunny and windy that day) surrounded by traffic and just relishing not giving a fuck about anything. Not that people thought we looked wierd, not that i needed to go to work the next day. Just relishing the freedom.
Its wierd how addicted to things like netflix and video games I am, just to be depressed when i use them too much, and how happy i am when these things are taken from me.
Hence I have mostly given them up, to pursue walking around town and playing acoustic guitar in public, and andventuring.
