they're episodic

Have you ever felt pure joy? If I had to describe it using words, it'll be:
a stabbing sensation that exhibits pressure in the center of your heart
.
Yeah, that sounds right. And they're not just things like "getting an A+ on a test" or "buying a new pair of heels". In my experience, it is that split second where you're glad you've made all those mistakes and faced troubles in your life, because at that moment, there's nowhere else you'd rather be. Without screaming or scribbling crazily on a piece of paper, this feeling is undoubtedly too hard to express more in words.

I know by writing this now, I have probably jinxed myself. But luckily for me, I have experienced this great feeling of happiness thrice(if that's a word) this week. Three days in a row. If I remember correctly, I think most of my encounters with this alien emotion is with family. I can only speak for myself, but I believe these moments do not come very often for me. Yes, I admit I am naturally a happy person already and I love it, but this emotion is simply too pure and too precious.

Personally, when I'm in the midst of these occurrences, I find myself stopping to think back at everything bad, and forgetting it all, even for just that small amount of stolen time. I really wish for everyone this privilege and amazing experience. To be honest, I would leave all my materialistic things just to make sure I never lose the ability to feel like that.


please don't take these moments for granted
