I’ve recently realized (thanks to another Lemmy discussion), that I have no joy, passion, or happiness left 🤣

I want to live vicariously through the collective! What’s bringing you joy, happiness, and/or what are you passionate about.

Let’s keep this safe for work 🙂

As always, thank you all so much for answering my questions! I hope you everyone is having a great day!!

    I’ve been really enjoying getting myself back onto Gentoo and relearning python. I’m a really techie person and love little gadgets.

    I’ll preface this by saying I understand it might be hard to get into this mindset, I’m not trying to be patronizing or reductive of your feelings.

    I try to appreciate tiny little things in my day. Pleasant smells, seeing the beauty of everyday items, the warmth of tea, how pretty the sky looks when I happen to notice it.

    Along the years I’ve collected little things that bring me joy to use, like nice dishes and mugs, a pretty pen with a color I love to write my notes in, clothes I feel cozy in. I don’t acknowledge them every time I use them, but they bring me little moments of appreciating what I have and the beauty of everyday items.

    This is one of those chicken and egg things, I don’t know which causes which, I can tell you I consider myself quite happy with my life, I’m very grateful for where I am in life, even though my family and I have been heavy a rough year in terms of circumstances.

    As for passions, I love learning and crafting, lately I’ve been focusing more on sewing, but I haven’t had much time to dedicate to it. I like spending time with my husband, just doing boring grown up stuff like buying groceries is better with company :)

    I hope you get better soon!

    Brings me joy: a perfect french fry, a cool fall morning, the end of Big Fish.

      Sounds like the simple things are your vibe! That’s awesome! I can’t remember the last time a ate a French fry 🤔

      Soooo, looking up Bug Fish gave a ton of responses. Care to let us know which Big Fish you are referring to?

      Really appreciate you posting!!

    Community with people, whether they’re friends or just acquaintances from hobby groups. Making art. Reading good fiction. A better physical state from exercise, etc.

      Awesome! Glad to hear you have others to talk to and share with.

      Any recommendations for reading? I don’t generally read for pleasure but, I am sure others are curious!!

      Thank you so much!

        It’s cool that you’re making this thread as a way to help people. I feel like any community would be lucky to have you.

        Some recent books:

    For me it’s been getting into retro tech, some homelab stuff to pirate-jammin and stream , and getting into art (I paint minis but I’m trying to do 2d art now).
