Silly stuff makes me happy

[febuary]

My day to day life is such a repetitive slog but I've been able to find a little joy recently in stuff that seems silly or juvenile. maybe someone would attribute that to some kind of neglected inner child thing or whatever, but if i think about it too hard I'll get upset haha. lately I've been watching a lot of anime, and I recently bought a small plush of my favorite character :) holding him makes me happy even if its just for a moment. it's the kind of thing that, as an adult, I'm embarrassed to tell people about, but I can't deny that it makes getting through the days a little bit more bearable.

I'm curious to hear from other people what kind of small things make you smile.

Silly stuff is great.

I collect plushies, have done all my life, my bed and book case are covered in them. I take one along in my messenger bag whenever I leave home. And that bag is covered in buttons and pins--some serious, some anime characters, some just cute and fun.

I wear silly hats--I have a panda bear, a cat. I need to expand my collection, though.

I have a cutlery set that's made to look like a cat's leg, the top is a cat paw and it's really cute. I eat out of a gorgeous pink sakura bowl I found at an Asian market, just because it's pretty.

finding a good wallpaper, like this little guy

and idk if it counts as a silly thing, but hanging out with my sister like watching anime together is really makes my day

I paint my nails constantly. It is nice to look down and see something colorful and sparkly during the day.

I also do things like jump in puddles when it rains and kick rocks down the sidewalk. Generally I act like a 5 year old.

For me is my dog doing wacky shit like getting excited cuz I picked up a small mirror? Idk don't ask me.

And for me watching memes with my sisters fr like to the point I choke from laughing.

Is really hard to smile once in a while but enjoy laughing

Bruh I should collect plushies (gave em all away in middle school)

This reminds me during winter when the puddles are frozen I like to step a food on the thin layer of ice to watch and hear it crack it reminds me of when I did it as a child. Also looking closely on frozen leaf's and any snow covered surfaces to watch the frozen crystals sparkle, again it reminds me of when I was looking at it as a child mesmerized by it´s beauty.

Thinking back on it as I´m writing this now it feels like it was from a distant time so long ago that it feels as if it is from a different life yet the happy, curious and cozy feeling of me on a winter´s morning looking at these sparkly icy surfaces insures me that I in fact did experience it once just very long ago and it felt amazing.
