A lot of things, in my case. I guess this may make it seem like I'm bragging, and I am sorry if that is so. But since you asked:
- interacting with my friends, especially when having heart-to-heart conversations where we are all free to be vulnerable.
- Participating in a good tabletop RPG session.
- giving a hug to my dad, or getting him a little gift.
- Cooking. Cooking for myself, cooking for others, cooking with others. The joy of being able to make something delicious never fades.
- Tea. I too love tea, sipped slowly and attentively.
- Chocolate. Cookies. Ice cream. I couldn't stand eating healthily all the time. But also ...
- The deliciousness of vegetables when prepared just right. Ripe fruits, their juice dripping down my chin. A warming soup, a refreshing smoothie.
- Learning about something new that I find interesting, be it for or outside of university courses. Linguistics, literature studies, science, technology, ...
- Realising something I did wrong and learning how to be a better person. Or even being called out. Sure, it stings at first, but later on, the feeling that you now know how to be a better human being is a good one.
- Trying out a new game, or revisiting an old one I enjoy.
- Reading a book. Damn it, I should do that more often!
- Listening to music. Sharing that music with others and learning of new music in return.
- The soothing touch of a warm shower and the feeling of beign clean afterwards.
- Hair when cleaned, brushed and styled just right, so soft and fluffy.
- Skin, after applying shea butter, coconut oil, or whatever other skin product. Soft, supple and thankful for the attention.
- Everything about wet shaving with a safety razor. Making the right kind of lather with a brush, applying that soft brush to your face/body, shaving with short and gentle strokes, the nicely shaved but non-irritated skin afterwards ...
- The fresh morning air in the country. The birdsong. The feeling of the sun on my skin.
- The mixture of tiredness and pride when you reach the top of a mountain.
- Our cats. The dog, too. But especially cats!
... and so on. Admittedly, not all of these are every-day things, but they all happen decently often. I don't know, perhaps I've just become way too optimistic and mushy in recent years; I didn't use to enjoy little things nearly as much, and younger me would probably be disgusted with me for smelling the flowers so much, so to speak. But hey, this is much better for my mental health, regardless.

I agree. The thought of driving a car or motorcycle seems awesome to me. Tbh tho I'm not sure what i look forward too everyday. I kinda feel like I'm just surviving right now

Life is pretty awesome in general. But I realized by saying that I am not being truthful. Probably if I have to pick something Jesus Christ.
If you don’t have Jesus what hope do you have life seems pointless.
But I am pretty satisfied with life. And doing what I got here. Studying things mainly I guess though I realized going out to this christian singing thing and fellowshipping is very interesting to.
Tinkering with tech, in my room/lab if you will.
