“Happiness is a choice.”

Oh, you bet it is.

Not giving a damn to those long brooding nights spent hugging your pillow in your oversized tee on insomniac nights, there are so many things that make us happy. Some big, some small, some rational and some not quite.

Here are 17 (in)sane things that make you happy, stupidly so, because big happiness often lies in small things:

1. Love

Of course, LOVE tops the list. With so many impostors of love doing the rounds, spotting one true love makes us HAPPY. I bet, there are few things as happy as having Mr. Right by your side all the friggin time.

2. Free food

Hey, do I even need to explain, why? Om nom nom *devours food devilishly*

3. Shower songs

I don’t care how bloated my voice is, shower songs makes me peppy and super happy. I will sing because I can after all, isn’t life too short to do everything right?

4. That BISCUIT SAVE

Seriously! The sheer pleasure when you defeat the likes of Superman to save the drowning biscuit in the cup of tea! Bitch please, I am the HERO! Why is no one hailing my name!

5. The colder side of the pillow

Don’t we flash the 32 HappyDent teeth when you turn the pillow and damn the colder side greets you? It makes my sleeping time all the more worthwhile.

6. Leg in, leg out

Oh how do I forget the happiness when you get the quilt and the weather perfectly right! With one leg in, one leg out, you beat the quilt and the weather and then you snore like a boss!

7. A five dollar bill in an old pair of pants

A gift from me to me? You bet! This one never fails to rev the happiness meter up to the roof.
