When was the last time you felt genuinely happy?

This isn't one of my emo threads btw. What I'm trying to ask, is when was the last time you felt a pure sense of bliss, not the basal happiness you get by eating chocolate, hearing a joke, or playing vidya.

I'll tell you my last time:
It happened sometime around late May or early June this year. Me and my family were on holiday in Central Turkey and me and my mother went on a hot air balloon ride. The balloon had to depart at early in the morning around 4:00AM for some reason, but I'm glad they did, because halfway throughout my journey I experienced an overwhelming joy, a kind of joy that is almost inexplicable, it held the entire spectrum of emotions that could be constituted as happiness, from the small relaxing lows, such as having a warm shower or getting a nice massage, to the greatest heights, such as hearing a really funny joke or being at a party, I saw the most beautiful sunrise ever rise atop the mountains of Cappadocia, Bathing the arid steppe within it's light.

Though a few of those reading may have found what my experience was to be underwhelming compared to how I described it, I must assure you. It was anything but.

At 12 years old, before starting secondary school
I had 1 day as an adult where I felt like I had semi made it and was living in the moment (was a festival where I had my shirt off in public for the first time after 2 years of weightlifting)
Every other day of my life from the start of secondary school onwards I was constantly concerned about the future because I always felt physically inadequate

Most days

U need to have all Maslow’s hierarchy of needs satisfied, if you’re still not happy then you’re probs a mentalcel

Highschool. I still had clear skin, I still had hope. I knew about PSL but I didnt take it seriously. I remember just sitting in class being happy, laughing and smiling for no reason.

Last time I was happy was 2-3 months ago when I was spending lustful time with my ex and going out having fun with her, life hasn't hit the same since
