The human experience is an incredibly complex one, full of an endless series of moments, emotions, thoughts and connections. In all of these, there is good and bad, sweet and sour, ups and downs. We all know the downs, but what are some of the best moments about being alive? Well, here are some: |
Doing unexpected things, in unexpected places and with unexpected friends. |
Leaning on your best friend and knowing they enjoy it. |
Discovering someone loves you as much as you love them. |
Being surprised by a secret you already knew |
To try your best and knowing that the rest in the end will be worth it. |
Giving thanks to those who keep us safe. |
Communicating even with those we feel we have nothing in common with. |
Knowing how to let someone else lead sometimes. |
Counting on someone else with your eyes closed. |
Knowing someone will be there for you, no matter how bad things are. |
To give and to get a warm embrace from those we love. |
Knowing that two people isn't a little, it's a whole world. |
To make long term plans, but not to forget what's behind us. |
Understanding that even the strongest need help sometimes. |
To appreciate the simple things others see as useless. |
To take pride in our greatest creations. |
Getting excited by a small discovery. |
Carrying the weight of others, even if it isn't much. |
Laughing out loud! |
Enjoying without worrying about repercussions. |
Sharing the beauty in our lives with others. |
Not letting differences keep us from loving. |
Knowing how to find comfort in the arms of a friend. |
AND... Sharing good things with others! |
