The beach has always been a special place for me. It’s where I feel most alive, watching the tides roll in as I savor a slice of tiramisu cake with my best friend, Wani. Wani and I often laugh about how we always bring our favorite dessert, packed neatly in a cooler, to every beach trip. Our bond, built over countless gaming sessions and shared secrets.

Gaming also connects me to my passions and friends. On rainy days when the beach feels far away, Wani and I team up for epic adventures in the virtual world. These moments remind me that joy comes in many forms, whether it’s the comfort of family, the warmth of friendship, or the serenity of the sea.

Happiness, for me, is found in the simple moments that brighten my day. One sunny afternoon, I sat in my garden, surrounded by blooming flowers and the gentle hum of bees. As I sipped my favorite lemonade, laughter echoed from the nearby playground where children played joyfully. This scene filled me with warmth and gratitude. I cherish the time spent with family, sharing stories over dinner, or curling up with a good book. Each of these moments, small yet significant, reminds me that happiness is not just a destination but a collection of beautiful experiences that enrich my life.

In the year of 2022, I finally realized what true happiness is. Happiness is such an abstract emotion that usually goes and comes around in a time that is actually hard to keep with. In my point of view, happiness is when you can freely do things that you love and spark your interest resulting in self-appreciation and satisfaction without any judgement from people around you. Struggle is true to achieve happiness but nothing is impossible in this world. Happiness is actually closer to us than we expected.

Firstly, the most important person in my life that contributes to my happiness is myself. It might be hard to believe that but that is the truth. The person that you are now, how it was shaped, went through thick and thin, struggling to be better, yet it is the one who is the most important in your life. In my case, I believe I am the most important person in my life because self-appreciation is necessary to show that you love yourself the most. I need to care for my personal needs and greed first before others, putting myself in the first place for my own sake. In short, my own self matters more than anyone and plays a vital role in making me happy.

Next, my favourite thing to do is supporting my K-Pop idols, one of them is Nct Dream. My biggest point of what makes me happy is this thing for sure. I love fangirling so much that it actually clears my mind from problems and such. One of my favourite ways of supporting them is to go to their concerts. I went to their first ever concert in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia that was held on 20th May 2023 at Axiata Arena. I was so excited and nervous at the same time that it made me want to collapse. I remembered that I did not eat much and just a piece of donut to withhold almost three hours of the concert. Luckily, I was in a sitting area and survived the day. It was thrilling seeing all the most-wanted performances in real-life and meeting those who actually contribute to my happiness like seventy percent. In short, a concert does make me happy in the most satisfying way.

Furthermore, my happiness also came from my best friend, Atiqah. She is the only person that is always with me all the time when I need her to be. We knew each other in 2020 and it still lasted till now. She always accompanies me whenever I go and whenever I want her to be with me at events such as my idol’s fan cafe event or birthday event. Moreover, she always makes me laugh with her jokes and interesting stories. I always reach out to her whenever I have a hard time that I need somebody to lean on. She provided useful advice and even comforted me in the most pleasing way that I could feel fine over time. So, she meant a lot to me in many aspects and I cherish her very much.

Besides, my favourite place is my bedroom. I find my bedroom very comfortable and comforting. Somehow it gives me a sense of safety and protects me from any harm. It acts as my comfort zone where I am free to do anything and display my best self since I like to ponder a lot especially to introverts like me that mostly want to be uninterrupted and want a peaceful environment. In a nutshell, the bedroom really provides me with comforting vibes and will always be my favourite place.

Last but not least, my favourite food is a Korean food which is spicy tofu stew with rice. The rich red broth with soft tofu and eggs really makes my day especially in cold weather. I find it completely comforting and makes my stomach feel secure. It really boosts my mood and makes me happy when I eat this dish. In short, this dish manages to level up my happiness in many ways.

In conclusion, happiness matters a lot in my life whether it is physically or mentally as it remains as my vital point in making my path in life. Even though as little as it can be, it matters as the more we collect, the bigger it be. As the saying from Huang Renjun goes, “It doesn't matter about others, as long as you made your own choice and you are happy, that's all that matters.”
