Cubes are some of my favorites things!
Cubes are a(n) ____ of mine!

I'm trying to avoid words with negative connotations such as "weakness' or "indulgence" and I'm thinking that words more relating to materialism might fit the bill.

Thanks in advance! I have a fascination with words and I love writing poetry so I'm always looking for fun/interesting words!

Best Answer

I suggest "joy"

  1. A source or an object of joy: their only child, their pride and joy.
    American Heritage Dictionary

It's hard to understand what you mean by cubes are some of your favourite things, ie., dice, Rubik's cubes, cubic geometrical shapes, etc. Either way I've suggested the word "joy" because the question title asks for a word meaning something that makes you happy, and not only is joy a synonym of happiness, but objects of joy bring happiness.

joy
noun
1. A feeling of great pleasure and happiness.
‘tears of joy’
1.1 (count noun) A thing that causes joy.
