      I strongly suspect that helps you get to sleep easier too. Like wearing your socks until bedtime and then getting that cooling in the extremities

    For me, probably fatherhood. At least when it’s wholesome and going well, which is about maybe half of the time. Depends on the day with a four-year-old. But even when I want to hurl her off of a fucking bridge, I’ll miss her to death the moment she’s finally asleep or at preschool. So much sometimes that I could probably cry. It’s really powerful. I truly know what it feels like to be willing to die for something. No hesitation. I’d die for my wife as well, of course, but with my daughter it’s a whole other animal. It’s hard to articulate.

    When your kid runs at you to give you the most enthusiastic hug of your life just because.

    When I’m dragged across an array of sharp raised metal bumps on a plane until there’s a pile of me in strips and chunks on the plate below.

    No, wait, that’s the grate-ist feeling, sorry.

    When I go to bed and my dog shoves himself under the covers and tucks himself in the crook of my knees. Or when he rests his chin on my ankle.

      Yeah pretty much agree, would just say “drugs” as a catch-all here.

      Had to scroll quite far down to find a non-wholesome answer! Everyone else is enjoying being a parent or whatever.

    Falling into a nice comfy bed when you’re exhausted and just passing out

    Using an actual flushing toilet after being out in the wilderness for even just a few days

    Orgasms

    Eating your favorite meal

    Having your back scratched or getting a massage

    Apparently I think the best feelings have to do with the physical and not the mental, not sure why that is

      That first shower though! And I count music festivals as being in the wilderness for a few days.

    Top for me so far was hearing my fiancée say yes when I asked her to marry me. I’ve beaten brain cancer twice, but hearing her say yes to forever with me beats that by a massive margin

    “To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.”

    Just kidding. I have no idea. Some would say love, I’ve been fortunate enough to have a caring family, but I’ve never known “true love” of another not from my family.
