What makes me happy? A comprehensive brainstorm to find the meaning in my life

Solo physical things:

Auntie Anne’s pretzels

Curry House

Pinkberry

Cinnabon

Sandwich House

Brunch by a beautiful body of water in the shade with a nice breeze

Biking in Chicago

Scifi movies/shows/animes

Social things:

Listening to someone explain a unique POV very concisely

Asking questions with an expert who gives clear answers

Playing boardgames with people who are good at it and have concise interesting explanations after

Making out with a very attractive person

Being appreciated for the way I think/what I work hard in

When people ask about my opinion and show they understand and ask interesting questions

Debating with someone who is good at it and cares about truly understanding each other’s views/the truth

Enjoying delicious foods/cool experiences with close loved ones (who are…?)

Abstract actions:

Experimenting ideas/random hypotheses I have

Exploring ideas/random interests via learning/research/etc

In the grand scheme of things:

This brainstorm is to help me find an answer to what I can accomplish that is meaningful and valuable to me in a deep/impactful way in the absolute grand scheme of things

Sharing my thoughts and documenting my experiments/explorations of ideas.

I have preliminarily chosen a Board Game Making Youtube Channel

Altruistic/philanthropic things are valuable to me and in many ways admirable to me, but in this brainstorm, none of those things came up as things that “made me happy”. The goal isn’t necessarily happiness here though, it’s about meaningfulness. So keep that in mind.
