Favourite feelings

Recently two of my favourite Youtube stars, Charlie McDonnell and Hank Green of the Vlog Brothers, talked about their feelings and it was rather nice. They simply talked about some of their favourite feelings and why they connected so well with them and, with the stressful and frustrating week I've been having, I thought I'd talk about my favourite feelings in an attempt to cheer me and you (if you're out there) up.

Where to start? Well I love the satisfaction you get when you've worked a long and full day and you get to bed knowing you've accomplished something.

Or even when you complete some work. 

Or hand it in.

Or just do some good work that day -  it's some mighty fine satisfaction.

I love the feeling of a good, honest and compassionate hug - especially when you're feeling down - there's nothing quite like it. Cuddles are also accepted, kisses may be too far.

When someone feels close enough with you that they can let themselves be vulnerable around you. That's trust.

The feeling you get when you know someone is trusting you with something close to them - knowing you're important enough to them to hear this information is high praise.


The post hot shower bliss.

Figuring out a story problem - that's a real good high.

When you pitch an idea you have and it's understood, or maybe even loved, talk about excitement.

Discovering a new favourite song, film or book - It's like finding a nugget of gold. (Speaking of, for a good new listen check out this)

Being out on the dance floor and not giving a hot damn how badly you're dancing as you just go for it. Even better, dancing on the street when the music takes you. That's a mighty good feeling right there.

Late night giggle sessions with friends. They're silly, timeless and some grand fun.

Helping a friend out. When you've made a positive difference to someone else's life you know you've done well.

Helping a stranger - It's nice to feel like a decent person for a wee while.

Pizza - need I say more?

Laughter that induces face and/or stomach pain - It hit's the spot then, hasn't it?

When you can honestly compliment yourself - It's hard for a Brit to do, so you know you mean it when it's said.

Making someone else smile - ain't that just nice?

Being told I look handsome - yeah, I'm vain like that. Compliment me and you've won me over.

Being told you're cool - makes you feel like a badass.

When you ask someone out and they say yes - a rarity, yes, but it ain't half awesome.

Christmas time - Good will to all men, why can't that last all year?


That should do for now, but maybe on another crappy day I'll let some more loose. Hope you enjoyed this and if you want to watch Charlie or Hank's videos on their favourite feelings, check out the links below.
