Your best non sexual/drug related feeling?

Playing music on stage in front of a large appreciative crowd....

 

maybe lame, but there's a moment when i'm reading a book that it just grabs me and i realise that i'm not going to be able to put down the book and that i have to finish it in one sitting. being under the spell of a book is one of the most enjoyable feelings i know of.

 

On the other hand, recall those moments when you finish a great book (with the realisation the next book you will try is unlikely to give you the same feeling)?

 

When my boyfriend's son drew me in one of his pictures with his daddy and papa fighting some bad guys. I saw it and asked if it was me. His response: "I drew you because I love you and you kick bad guy butt."

Basically when either of his kids do something super cute it makes my entire day. Lol.

 

Kids and grandkids first. Books, interesting people and conversations, Kitties and many other animals. Cars from the 40s , 50s, 60s.

What USED to give the greatest joy was my basketball playing, wherein --nobody could stop me from scoring. And fast pitching softball and being the best hitter on the teams I played on. (old mans lament).

 

when a girl texts me back...

 

love without sex

and kids doing adorably wonderful things

 

serotonin and dopamines deploy at different personal levels for a person.

we are also each individually in charge of how we self-regulate and attain these chemicals,

so everyone is experiencing it differently too.


you realize often times the lame correct, answer, produces only those results? Ignorance is indeed bliss. Distractions are indeed great. After 3-4 years of being a ego-less doof, I once again see and appreciate the greatness of small talk and chit chat.


These frivolous things are practiced by humans for a good reason.

 

Setting a personal best on bench press

 

Sounds like you lost your ego. And good for you, especially if without drugs.

 

dancing to the blues

 

passing 20+ slow cars on the freeway doing illegal speeds not giving a fuck with your music speakers up and your joint smoke out the window knowing you can die today or tomorrow and loving every minute of your life.

 

oxytocin, 5mao, endorphins, and others oxytocin is the love drug
all these neuro-transmitters are the good feeling.

song happiness


I personally like white pine forest walks
composing music

 

When I find a patch of wild mushrooms

 

my best feeling is when i can feel completely free, (within the reasonable limits of consideration), in harmony with nature, and not having to worry about anything.

it feels good to be hugged too. but it feels even better, to not have to worry about needing to.

this is kind of the same state as a walking meditation. it is without the short lived distraction of excitement, but is rather a much more durable happiness, to be without anxiety or any sources of it.

 

even if the text says "who is this?"

 

Better than, " STOP TEXTING ME."?

 

Kayaking at night, a mile from shore in the sea of Courtez, so dark you can't see your hand in front of your face... just before the ebb tide the water became like glass, reflecting the heavens so perfectly it was like paddling in space.

Fucking terrifying...at the same time insanely, ecstatically, beautiful.....!

 

walking in the rain on a bridge with your special someone and kissing as the rain falls down on your face because you are in the moment enjoying each others time and you so caught in the moment with each others company you wouldn't hear a plane fly over ya.
