It's a big question, perhaps one of the biggest we can ask. Some would describe happiness as a feeling, something that comes from within. For others, it's an external energy, fuelled by the company of friends and family.

Depending on your outlook, happiness can be seen just as much in the journey toward a goal as in its achievement. It can be characterised by contentment, joy, comfort, satisfaction, calmness, pleasure, peace, and more.

While we may not be able to say exactly what happiness is, we can say with confidence that it's something we all strive for in our lives.

Happiness Found is an ongoing project by Happy Ending Agency that collects conversations about people's personal definitions of happiness and how they bring it into their lives. Each issue focuses on a specific activity, hobby, or pastime, aiming to shed light on lesser-known ways people find joy.
