      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.

    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

    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.

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

    An orgasm, best if shared with someone you love. Highest rate of happy chemicals ever.

    Second place goes to watching a campfire shortly after the sun goes down. So relaxing.

    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
