When you're so done but ready to start anew,
You're tired but burning alive;
The impossible seems doable again,
Into challenges you wholeheartedly dive.
These days, I've been getting that feel good feeling before sleeping almost every day. I call it the feel-good feeling, but it's probably more of an amalgam of happiness, satisfaction and confidence. Sometimes it's because it was a great day at college, other times it comes from smaller things. Meeting an old friend and reminiscing about 'those times', helping someone out, playing games at home or even racing on a semi-crowded sky walk (and two friends not even a part of it suddenly joining in and overtaking you) can bring a smile on your face.
It doesn't only come out of socialising and tad-bit-crazy experiences - working and learning well plays a huge role as well. Newspapers make you feel smart, so does knowing things beyond what you're 'supposed' to. I remember being super frustrated with the education system and the way I would learn things in the eleventh and twelfth grade, but the internet has insane amounts to offer, irrespective of what you're doing. If you're a student and reading this, please explore online courses. You will fall in love.
But apart from doing things, I guess the most important part is your mental state. My grandfather's daily schedule includes reading the newspaper and going for two walks besides daily chores and I don't think I've ever seen him unsatisfied(Oops, he checks his Facebook at night for thirty minutes as well haha). If that's all I did, I'd probably go insane.
So I think we all need to explore. Everyone looks for what gives people lifelong happiness, but guess what? That doesn't exist. You can be happy perpetually though. Just..
Work sincerely.
Learn passionately.
Meet people.
Spend time with yourself.
And make sure you do things that leave you with that feel-good feeling.
Every. Single. Day.
