People Are Sharing The Things They Say Are The Best Feeling In The World, And You'll Be Hard Pressed To Disagree
There are a lot of things in our everyday lives that, on the surface, seem plain and normal, but when we do them or they happen to us, they actually bring us soooo much joy and feel like the best thing ever. For example, wrapping yourself in a bath towel straight out of the dryer or off a towel warmer when you get out of the shower feels like heaven.
Recently, redditor bestfungi was curious about those little moments and things when they asked: "What’s the best feeling in the world?"
The thread got thousands of responses. Below are the top, best, and most often repeated comments:
1."When getting to bed to sleep, and it starts to rain heavily."
2."When your son or daughter sincerely tells you, they enjoy your company."
"Going from your teens hating your guts for being so 'parental' to them thanking you for it in their early 20s makes everything worth it."
3."A shower to start/end the day."
4."Making a joke in middle school that makes the whole class, including the teacher, laugh."
"Freshman year, my buddy and I made a teacher laugh so hard that she had to leave the room. Been chasing that high ever since."
5."Fresh bed sheets 🙂."
6."Getting out of jury duty."
7."Your favorite band, playing your favorite song that you’ve been waiting for years to hear them play."
"Saw Metallica back in '93. When they left the stage, all was black, and then that familiar gunfire sound effect came on. Shit was epic!"
8."Cold side of the pillow!"
9."Finally getting to pee, after a very long time holding it in."
10."Taking your bra off when you get home."
11."Finding that Holy Grail you've been after for so long as a collector — the type where your heart starts beating really fast and you're in total shock."
12."When someone at work cancels a meeting."
"It’s the opposite for me. I work in a fast-paced environment where every second of my 8-hour shift is busy, so it’s actually nice to sit in a 1–2 hour HR meeting and do absolutely nothing."
13."Waking up to the person you love, not leaving bed before your ritual morning hug."
14."That feeling you have before having to take a nap."
15."Requited love 🥰."
"I relive, as often as I can, the moment I found out the girl I had a HUGE crush on felt the same way! Can there be a better feeling than that??? I mean, marrying her was great, too, I guess."
16."Waking up at the time that you usually do by alarm and realizing that today is Sunday, and you can continue sleeping."
17."Accomplishing a task you thought was impossible."
18."Holding your firstborn for the first time."
"This was an epic life-changing moment for me, too. She's the only kid I have, and I won't be having another, so I'm not sure if it's different with a second. But, meeting my daughter was like meeting someone I had known my entire life but never met before.I would move mountains for her so that she could walk with ease."
19."Seeing your child succeed at whatever they are attempting to do."
20.And lastly, "Christmas mornings from ages 6 to 12 were the best feeling ever. Everything felt magical, and I couldn’t wait to see what was under the tree. No adult worries, no concerns, just the pure happiness of the season. Of course, my wedding day was wonderful, but there’s always a little bit of nervousness, wondering if everything will go right. Christmas, though, was carefree and perfect."
"I literally put all my energy in December now to making it as magical as possible for my two little girls. I was obsessed and enchanted with the magic of Christmas as a kid, and so want them to experience it. I have two naughty elves that appear and spread mischief. I even have a tiny Bluetooth speaker with elf giggling or Christmas bells that I hide around the house and play sounds from. The excitement and the rushing into the room to see if they can spot them is wonderful."
