"What simple things make you happy?"

And it's time to talk about the little joys in life because honestly, we'll take the shot of happiness wherever we can find it.

India talked about sweet tea with honey, calls from her siblings, and time with her parents.

Road Trip!

"I live in the east coast."

"That's so wonderful."

"My husband and I are both from the Northern Territory (Australia), but we live down south now."

- diet_pepsi_lover

"My school had a store room with a bunch of textbooks, stationary and reams of paper."

Humans best friend

"My dog"

- arthurdent00
