What makes you happy? We are all so different. But matter who we are, how old we may be, who we like, where we go and what we do, we all live for one reason: to find happiness. Not only do we live in pursuit of our own special kind of happiness, but we equally devote ourselves to giving that happiness away to others. And in that, we find so much joy. We find peace, and perhaps even an instinct sense of purpose. Happiness is immutable, and every single person deserves happiness. Everyone deserves sun shining on your face, screaming the words to your favorite song, three hour long phone calls, blowing bubbles in your chocolate milk happiness. To gain a better insight into everyone's different outlets to happiness, I set out to ask 25 people exactly what makes them happy. So here are 25 different answers, from 25 different people, 25 different ways to be happy.

1. "When someone can tell that something is wrong just by how I am acting."

2. "Witnessing kindness."

3. "I get really happy when people talk to me about things they are passionate about. Their face lights up and I just love that."

4. "It makes me happy when my friends come to me when they need help or are upset. I love being able to make them feel better and letting them know that I'm here for them."

5. "Just stopping and looking around every once in awhile. The world is so beautiful and it makes me so happy whenever I stop and look at it sometimes."

6 ."When my kids are happy."

7. "It makes me so happy when someone really believes in me."

8. "I love talking to people that I know I probably will never see again. Like when you just run into them somewhere, you have a small conversation with them and that's it, but you get this glimpse into their life even though they are just a complete stranger."

9. "I know this will sound stupid, but my boyfriend makes me so happy. He saved me."

10. "Every breath I take makes me happy."

11. "Making a new friend."

12. "It makes me happy when I get a phone call from my brother overseas. I miss him so much. I like to hear his voice and know how he's doing."

13. "My dogs make me happy. Well, really all dogs make me happy."

14. "I started writing in a diary and that actually makes me happy. Sometimes it's just because I'll laugh now at how dumb something really was, but it does make me happy."

15. "It makes me happy knowing that I've made someone else happy or that I've helped a friend. Just if I can help anyone, that makes me really happy."

16. "New music makes me happy. A lot of artists have released great albums during this past year."

17. "Early mornings with a big cup of coffee."

18. "It makes me so happy when I can make my parents proud. They have done so much for me and knowing that I can make them proud is the most amazing feeling.

19. "Music."

20. "Running really makes me happy. I know I'm the worst, but it just takes my minds of off things and relaxes me."

21. "Just being outside on a beautiful day. Sunshine has a way of healing you."

22. "I love when I get to spend time with my friends. When we're all laughing and hanging out. We just always have fun when we're around each other."

23. "It makes me happy doing really crazy and exciting things. I'm going skydiving next weekend and I'm so excited."

24. "Honestly, food makes me so happy. And an ice cold beer."

25. "Being able to give to others makes me happy. In the end of life, that's really what it's all about. We can take and take but none of it will matter. It doesn't come with us. Life is all about giving, and I wish more people understood that because it really brings so much happiness into your life."

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
