What little things in life make it worth living?
For me,
It's hot chocolate on cold days
Or songs that make you dance;
Sunsets that kiss the world with fire
And put you in a trance
It's snuggling inside a blanket,
becoming a human burrito;
Or passing someone on the street
And exchanging quick hello's
Lovely people of 7 Cups,
those are some of mine;
It's appreciating these things, one by one,
that make life truly shine
@RhapsodyonSilence
Lovely post!
I for me it's like yours in some ways. Tea after a hard day, the small little interactions you have during the day and maybe some nostaligia thrown in (love playing a few video games from my childhood, age of empires, left for dead, runescape etc)
@Heyanonhowwasyourday
Thank you :)
(Haha the ol' Runescape days)
Pugs, food, laughs, friends, coffee, soda, love, happiness, good times, good people,music etc...
@calmOceanJoy Thanks for the comment have a great day/night!
For me its my cat always demanding attention from me, finding that really amazing book that when you finish- makes you feel like you are forever changed, blueberry muffins, when BTS, Got7, or NCT come out with a new song that turns out to be a bop, chicken alfredo pasta, and getting to laugh and goof off with my friends
For me it is squirrels. They are just really funny to me. I'll have had a terrible school day and just can't takeit anymore, but then I look up and see this squirl in front of my perfectally still like I can't see it if it doesn't move. Always makes me feel better.
@generousWatermelon395
Haha that's a very interesting and adorable one!
Watching youtube videos of people restyling and repainting old beat up plastic dolls, giving them new life and beautiful artistic value.
Also miniature doll houses that look realistic. Watching people make miniature doll house kits and custom items.
One day, I hope I'll be able to take up these hobbies too. :)
@Zeraphim
To breathe new life into different things like that is so beautiful :)
For me, it's the feeling you get right before a concert starts. You can hear your heartbeat pounding against your ears, it's drumming constantly and you swear that everyone around you can hear how loud your heart is racing within that moment and when your favorite singer + band comes out, everything fades out and you're just hit with this wave of happiness and joy.
Also, when you watch a really good heartfelt movie and you can't help but feel the corners of your mouth tugging up at the sides as a smile breaks out onto your face as you watch the scenes break out and unfold right before you. The movie is just something warm - it makes you feel like that. Like, when you also drink hot cocoa on a cold, winters day. The movie makes you feel like that.
Seeing a friend you haven't seen in a long time and getting that tight, warm embrace from them too. That's pretty good and a pretty good feeling.
Another few things are finding a really good book to read and or finishing a really good book. And eating one of your favorite foods that you've been craving for awhile. It isn't a lot but these are the little things that mean a lot to me.
@captainCJ99
This made me feel so beautifully warm inside :)
Thank you so much for sharing!
Dancing even when you suck at it lol.
Music. Getting lost in it and forget the uncomfortable reality.
Helping someone in any way.
Playing with a kid and being one too.
@Flynnko543
Bahaha if you think you suck at dancing you should see me try!
@RhapsodyonSilence it must be fun! As long as no one sees us. Lol
@ApatheticasHell
We have a lot in common :)
Mostly I live for my friends, my significant other, I guess I wouldn't be able to enjoy burritos if I was dead, same with TV shows, my favorite books, and music.
@FangsInsanity
Ooh do you have any TV show recommendations? I'm in a binging mood currently
@RhapsodyonSilence I like American Horror Story, Hannibal, and Lucifer at the moment.
@FangsInsanity
Thanks! I'll check them out :)
@RhapsodyonSilence your poem is so inspiring! thank you for sharing it! x
@RhapsodyonSilence
Having true friends, being able to be myself, singing and dancing around with friends, having a caring family, being outside.
But I think the one that gets me through life, is my best friend.
@BrokenBell1
Having such a close friend is wonderful indeed :)
- Seeing babies
- Knowing that there still be goodness in this world no matter what
puppy snuggles', cat snuggles, writing, coffee, ice cream, chocolate and friends and benedict cumberbatch
My silly dog, my kitty, blankets fresh out of the dryer, hiking the mountains on a nice day, the colors of fall, smiles from kids, and a nice warm bed on a cold day, to name a few💕
Seeing hidden positivity and love come through the cracks of things that you never thought had any to offer.
