I'm a person of (solo) hobbies. I use to watch tv, play video games, etc but I'm a fan of physical hobbies now as it gives me little time to think and it creates healthier routine (in my opinion, which is probably about six months old right now).

I will write collaboratively with online partners, do artwork, garden, and I use to breed/show rabbits (which, hopefully I can do this again very soon, despite the show meetings.. its fairly closed off).. I sometimes pretend to know what I'm doing as I repair my vehicles.. But who am I joking? I'm not sure I'm smart enough anymore to understand a car's inner workings.

To say I'm happy all the time when I engage myself in my hobbies (the thought of having to change a rabbit's bedding because it spilled water everywhere is not appealing in the slightest, or yet again.. register both vehicles..), that's lying.
I generally try to stay content, content is often my general emotion and I enjoy being such because it doesn't employ extreme emotional responses.

I try to make good of every situation I come across, not how I use to be.. I could probably get stressed over the wind blowing the wrong directions sometimes (especially if its too hot outside).. but just coming to accept things is probably what helped in understanding that no one else will make me happier than myself?

Watching movies, playing video games, writing, embroidery, and reading always makes me happy.

I get constant mood swings and sometimes I feel a short moments of euphoria but it quickly goes away and I get sad again because of overthinking.

As strange as it may seem, but simply going for a long walk while pondering over how the universe works makes me happy.

Special interest - whatever it is to me at that moment.

Currently it is anime.
I was pretty depressed last a few days but I got over it by watching some anime. I was worried sick: "my life is pointless, I am going to reach nothing, I feel almost as if I was lost and homeless"... then suddenly I recalled an anime where a girl was actually homeless and left with no hope but it all got well in the end (Kamisama Hajimemashita). I decided to watch it again, just to recall what it was about. After first episode I got enthusiastic to watch a few more episodes and soon I realized I am feeling happy and my bad mood is totally gone, replaced by enthusiasm and curiosity.

My hero, visual kei (music), pokemon games, my boyfriend and writing.

Well, most times they can make me really happy and calm. XD
