What made you smile today?

Lately, walking in the garden and watching birds chirp in the morning has become an underrated thing that I find deep happiness in. Even late night walks are becoming interesting with an ice-cream at hand and the wind blowing in my hair. What about you all?

Achieved a sweet mark of 1L on my MF investments. FYI, a 20 year old guy started off with corporates. Big chunk of this came from investing a small amount as SIP from pocket money. Portfolio got a boost cuz of new job new money(last 3-4 months).

I usually hang out at this cafe with my friends and alone sometimes. I visited this cafe after 2 weeks and the cafe was filled. Luckily, my favourite spot was available, and I took it. I sat there quietly for a min or so. The waiter got my usual order without even asking for it, which is a glass of water with ice and blue chamomile tea. I smiled at him and said thank you. He said good evening and enjoy the tea. :) The blue chamomile tea 👇

A friend of mine complemented me today, Felt unusually great Gentle reminder: sweet complements to other won't hurt

How often u see sunsets or sunrise? I make sure to see 1 daily...I feel bad when I miss sunsets. Add some music and tea/coffee

Write about a time you made someone feel very nice. Hopefully it can be a collection of ideas that others can take forward. If somehow a few people do something nice as a result, that would be powerful. To start with an example: Bought a laptop for my grandfather because he wanted to continue working post 60. Helped him learn Excel, Gmail, Chrome browsing over many days. He really picked it up, and works as a consultant for new companies in the industry he worked all his life.

I am sorry my first post was supposed to be an achievement or CTC /salary but will surely come back one fine day with it too. Anyways, I'm just trying to ask: what helps you? In your deepest, darkest of times, when nothing is working? Forget antidepressants for a second! Besides those medicines, what are some things that make you less depressed? The reason why I'm asking is that I am depressed. I was diagnosed by a professional. Meds I don't like because they end up making me feel a) more depressed b) not at all myself; c) give me other terrible side effects Took therapy, antidepressants and what not for insomnia still don't have the right way to handle. I just wanted new ideas, nevertheless, in hopes of finding something that may actually do something. If you ever have been in depression and insomniac please comment thereby creating a "safe space" Can't we ? For saving one life. Apologies for the long post but sometimes I just have to say it
