Sometimes we get so caught up in our everyday chaos that we forget to cherish the little bubbles of fluff and cherishing moments that pass us by. It may sound cliché, but when we look back at our lives, these little moments are what matter at last. We must take a step back from the constant and be grateful for the opportunities life has to offer us. When we come to college, the constant pressure can overwhelm us. We are often caught up in the ongoing so much that we miss out on the real moments of gaiety and try to find felicity in the platonic or the virtual world. Here are 8 feelings that are greater than this world:
- When you want to bail on a plan but that person cancels/rain checks on it first
We very often think of how to get away from the plan before jumping into it. No matter how disinterested we are or how much we want to just go home and crash on our sofa with chips and soda, we sign up for the tiresome party that may not even turn good. So, we constantly think of ways to avoid/bailout/excuse yourself from the occasion. But that moment, when you get the call, that it’s not going to happen after all, the pleasure is mammoth. You know what I’m talking about, right?
- When you think you did badly on an exam but it turns out really great
Trust me, that anxiety one has to carry until the day of the result thinking that they may have failed is miserable. But when they realize they’ve scored 90% on the same, it a feeling like nothing else in this world.
- First bite of your favorite food when you are really hungry
That time when your stomach was growling from hunger and your mom made you your favorite stuffed paratha, putting it in your mouth despite it being steaming hot is like heaven on earth. Chewing a mouthful of it without even taking a pause to breathe is a true demonstration of contentment.
- Finding money in random places
When you wear something that you’ve not worn in a long time and discover that scrunched up piece of paper that turns out to be money! A 20 rupee note in your jeans pocket, a 100 rupee not lying around on the street with no one around to claim it, see you’re a rich baby.
- Taking off shoes and formals after a long work day
Nothing excites us more than knowing that the first thing we will do after reaching home is pull off the tight pants and starched shirt off. That slight tickle of soft fur rubbing against your skin as you slip into your cozy panda jumper, oh what dreamy moment!
- A hot shower with the water having the perfect temperature
You know it feels the best when the water understands you. When you summon yourself in it, you feel like a Disney princess taking bath in a hot spring. You close your eyes and with the scented candles, bath bombs and essential oils you love, nothing can be as perfect as it is.
- Popping bubble wrap
No matter how old you are, successfully popping out a puffed sheet of bubble wrap can be compared to no other pleasure. It is also the best way to relieve your stress too!
- When you wake up early and realize you have more hours to sleep
Your Monday morning communications lecture is obviously not something you are looking forward to. When you realize you have more hours to sleep before putting yourself through it, it’s like God himself gave you this blessing.
