Time for happy, positive thoughts! 😊
I was tagged by Virgina @ The Sassy Library Fox for this one! 😀 And because it’s always more fun for me to think about happy things, of course I had to do it!
HOWEVER… I’d also like to mention that I’m going on a short hiatus after this post. I actually had some ~cool new posts~ planned out for this week and next week, but I’ve recently gotten a bit overwhelmed with school and I need a little break! I should be back within the first few days of March!
So without further ado, let’s talk about things that make me happy!
In no particular order…
(except the first two, haha)
- My family
- My friends
- My pets (and pictures of them)
- Books (I don’t even have to read them, I just have to see them)
- Libraries (especially the famous Public Libraries)
- Spending time and laughing with the people I love
- Writing one of my novels
- Getting to write for hours on end ✍️
- Just plotting my novel and the characters
- Telling people about the novels I’m writing
- Thinking about becoming a published novelist one day 📖
- Talking for hours with my friends
- Telling people about my favorite things
- Talking with my little sister 💕
- Short road trips with my family!
- Recommending books to people
- The Harry Potter franchise
- Seeing someone pick up one of my favorite series for the first time
- Hearing young kids talk enthusiastically about Harry Potter or Percy Jackson
- Listening to music
- Listening to loud music in the car, at night
- Autumn
- Winter
- Christmas! My favorite holiday time 🎄
- Also Halloween! I don’t always dress up, but I like spooky times.
- Going to Barnes and Noble or another bookstore
- Traveling to far off places! ✈️
- Thinking about or planning my next travels
- Spending time in a different awesome city (like New York or London)
- Disney movies
- Netflix marathons with my family
- Cats! I love seeing cats anywhere, anytime
- Also dogs!
- Seeing trailers for upcoming movies and making predictions
- Going to see a movie on its opening night 🎬
- Listening to or watching musical theatre 🎭
- Summer break!
- Theme parks
- Disney World
- Universal Studios and the Wizarding World of HP ⚡️
- FOOD. I love food. Particularly soup. (I’m eating soup right now!)
- COOKIES and CAKE. Desserts in general.
- Learning random trivia about fairy tales and stories from the past
- Taking HP or Disney trivia quizzes (because I know my stuff!)
- Roller-skating
- During the Winter and Summer Olympics, my family has a tradition of making dishes from the winning countries, and that’s a lot of fun 🏆
- Other holiday related traditions with my family (which usually have to do with food, lol)
- Watching funny videos on YouTube (or watching BookTube)
- Making friends through my blog / blogging in general
- Rainy weather, perfect for reading
Of course… many other things make me happy, too! I just didn’t want to be too redundant in the list 🙂

Christmas is my favourite holiday too, although maybe I’m biased since it’s also my birthday! 😂

Oh, that’s so awesome! I’ve always wondered what it would be like to have a birthday during a major holiday! 💕

Well, it means I never have school on it & that my family can come down. I guess the downside is not having another date to celebrate in the year, but I think it’s pretty awesome 😎
Plus people’s reactions – I was once told ‘you’re like Jesus’ sister’ errrr…that’s not how that works 😂

Jesus’ sister? 😂 But that’s cool, I love Christmas, but I think I would just receive less presents if I was born on December 25th!

My family started that Olympic tradition several years ago! It’s really fun to try other countries’ traditional dishes, and my dad loves to cook, so we just combined the two!

You’re welcome! (And don’t worry, it usually takes me about a month to do tags, and um… I think I have about 10 things I’m currently tagged for!) I hope you can visit one of the Wizarding World parks one day!

Xandraaaa, thanks so much for tagging me! I really can’t wait to answer to this. I’ve been in a very negative mood lately, and sometimes I forget to look around and remind myself of all the things I have. Hopefully, this tag will put me in a more positive & full of gratitude mindset.
I definitely share some of the items in your list, like rainy days, roadtrips & bookstores. I’ve only been to Barnes & Noble a couple times when I went to the US, and I remember being so overwhelmed (but in a good way) by the amount of amazing titles I could recognize there!
Thanks again for tagging me! And I hope everything works out at school. Can’t wait to hear from you, hopefully soon! ✨

I loved reading your list so much! If I listed all the things we had in common we’d be here all day, but one of my favorite things was rainy days. Not enough people appreciate them, but they’re my favorite! I may just have to do this tag on my blog.

I don’t like being in the rain either! Staying inside with a cozy blanket, a good book, and Netflix is the way to go. And I did the tag! It was a lot of fun and actually really good for my mental health!
