How I did it: This actually took me about an hour. & that was with me being picky. I didn't choose things I merely liked. I picked things that made me actually smile when I thought of them.Also, I barred certain things from the list, like money and sex. Those things make EVERYONE happy. I wanted things more specific to me. It was slow going at certain moments, but at others they just flew out of me. Without further ado...here we go:
