Wonderful day to all of us! I hope your day is going well. Thank you 
Feelings are integral part of human existence and what makes each person unique from each other. They can help influence our decision-making and interpersonal relationships. In relation to this, I’ve chosen to talk about Topic 01- “What makes you: Happy, sad, turned on and turned off? Write about each one and explain why.”
What Makes Me Happy
I believe that happiness is truly a personal experience because it is affected by some factors such as: our current and past situation, family relationship/status, financial capacity, work situations, and so on. It would be nice to have more or achieve more, but at this point, I think what matters most is having good health. Through this, I can pursue my plans and I can function normally every day. Being free from physical and emotional pain is already happiness for me and I also pray to God that we are spared from terminal illnesses. It brings me a sense of relief and joy that at the end of the day, we are fine and healthy, and protected away from harm.
What Makes Me Sad
When I’m in a state of sadness, I feel that I also become unhealthy. I truly believe that emotions can affect our physical health and mental well-being. One thing that comes to my mind is losing my parents. I lost my father when I was in high school and my mom passed away 5 years ago. I’ve accepted it and passing this world is part of human existence. I feel sad that I have lost the chance to create more happy memories with them, go on a trip somewhere, or have meaningful conversations and hear their laughter or listen to their funny jokes.
What Makes Me Turned On
I would like to put this in the context of “What motivates me.” I feel energized when I know that I am able to contribute something positive, give happiness, or share my time with someone. Also, when there’s an opportunity to improve my skills, it also makes me motivated to participate in such activities. Any thing that is new for me and there’s a potential to become better as a person is something that makes me encouraged to engage and exert my effort.
What Makes Me Turned Off
I would like to put this in the context of “What makes me feel disgusted or lose interest in something or someone.” I feel bad when the person is dishonest and doesn’t keep his/her words. I can understand if there’s a valid reason but I should not be kept in the dark. I’d rather hear the truth than to be given false hope or impression. In addition, there are also times when I engage in an activity or do an errand, but if I feel that I’m not appreciated or perhaps they just take my efforts for granted, I tend to lose my interest to continue such task. However, if this is in a work-related scenario, I prefer to talk about this with the concerned person so that our relationship at work won’t be affected.
