[ The post shows up late at night, some ambiguous time from some ambiguous poster. Locus has been messing around and figured out how to post to the network anonymously, which hadn't been his aim, but ultimately he's pleased to have discovered it. ]

What is it that makes you happy? How do you find something like that?

[ Maker, why do people enjoy writing messages to each other with these tiny little buttons? But Cullen responds in kind. That it's anonymous is okay. He doesn't really recognize anyone's identification on this thing anyway. ]

I rather enjoy playing chess. I learned it as a boy. My older sister taught me. Reading novels too, also passed on by my sister. Sparring, though that I learned on my own.

What about you?

[classification]

[ Because it's easier to be anonymous this way. Learn voice to text, bro. ]

I don't know. I have found it difficult to recall the last time I was ever happy.

[stubble]

[ He's lucky he can text! This newfangled technology is a bit much for ye olden man. ]

I beg your pardon? Truly?

Money. Sometimes it's just lying around. Other times you just need to be creative.

[classification]

Money is a driving force in making many happy.

[ It's never really worked for him, though. Not that he doesn't like it, but. ]

Creative in what manner?

[oldstandard]

[To him it sounds like you need to apply more money.]

Any manner you like. Usually in getting the money, making more money, and occasionally explaining yourself and/or getting out of trouble.

[And by occasionally he means every time.]

[aggressiveapathy]

there is no happiness

[classification]

I was under that distinct impression.

[aggressiveapathy]

so
what you gonna do?

[douchebag]

[ On today's episode of Things Felix Will Regret Later... ]

Lately, nothing. A year ago, I could've given you a list. But I didn't find any of it. It found me.

[ Does he admit who he is, or doesn't he? He knows he should but maybe this will give some insight... ]

What do you mean?

I've abandoned "happiness", instead seeking a "satisfaction" of a completed goal.

But ever since I began training with Saitama-sensei, I've learned and expanded my horizons. I can feel "content" again.

[classification]

I suppose contentment would be a better goal to strive for since so far the suggestions have left me with the question mostly unanswered.

[fargoneconclusion]

Family. Success, to an extent. You have to hit that sweet spot between driven and obsessed, or you'll never be satisfied.

There are smaller things, too. I appreciate a planet-side sunrise. Grabbing some chow with your friends is always nice.

I don't know how I found these things. I think it's because I take my time, but life should be more than just living.

[classification]

[ Not who he expected to get replying to him. Might provide something interesting, though. Locus doesn't know much of the Freelancers beyond Washington and to an extent Carolina. ]

More in what manner?

[whopperking]

Give me a day where I can sleep in, and don't have to leave the house? I'm good to go.

[classification]

That sounds like a waste of time.

[daughteroftheoriginal]

Well, hanging out with my friends and helping people makes me happy. especially when I can combine the two.

And finding happiness just has to do with trying different things to see how you like them, I guess? Otherwise you don't really find out.

[classification]

And if you don't know what to try? What are you meant to do, then?

The stars.

Their light takes millions of light years to reach Earth, and there's something inspiring about witnessing the moment that it reaches us.

[classification]

Inspiring isn't the same as happiness.

[waywarddreams]

You forge onward until it finds you.

[classification]

I do not think that is accurate.

Being with friends and those I consider my family are some things that make me happy. Back home I would say that seeing patients making a full or even partial recovery brought me happiness.

Helping people and making new discoveries that can aid in the helping. I could go on for a while.

I worked towards a lot of it, but some I was lucky enough that they found me.

[classification]

I have been told of volunteer work that will help others and intend to give that a try.
