I mean lets be real guys..... orgasms
that doesnt really count tho so id say-
Doing really well on anything school related
Really grasping an idea you couldnt before
Spending times with friends somewhere and just being able to sit there and enjoy each others company
building something
brain flooding with serotonin at a show
and
Connecting with my parents-
majorly with my dad. both my parents are off the boat from Poland and even though im relatively fluent I still find it difficult being really close with my dad. Hes a hardened farm boy who has worked harder than any person I know to achieve his dreams, he came to America with $400 and has really worked though all the barriers like language (poor english speaker) to achieve in life and provide for our family. (Not to mention, besides my mother my sister and I, we have no family in America.) He is seriously the smartest person I know. Even though everyone says their dad is the smartest and toughest, my dad has never ceased to amaze me with his knowledge. He taught me everything I know from building electric circuits from scratch to repairing anything or making something. Hes taught me all about politics and world history. I can ask him nearly anything about how something works and he can tell me. I can ask him about a random country in Africa and he can tell me the history of it and why its failing or at war
My dad brought me into the world of adventure, taking me skiing when I was only 3, making sure we go out west on early basis. Taking me camping and backpacking to places like Yosemite and RMNP yearly even tho I can be a huge asshole sometimes. Making sure I was a swimmer because he never learned how to swim well, so if I ever needed it, I could.
In 2004 we bought our house for $300,000 that was built around world war 2 and had never been renovated or changed; green bath tub, shitty paneling on the walls etc. Total garbage. In 3 years without hiring a single contractor my dad renovated every. single. room. Our house is now one of the nicest houses I've been in (interior design wise) and is easily valued at 500+. It blows my mind that a man with little to no experience in contracting was able to do this all by himself. Electric, plumbing, carpentry the whole shabang..
Dad I know you're not gonna see this ever, and I know youre as emotional a rock, but I love you and youre the greatest person in the world and I have the utmost respect for you even tho I rarely show it. I couldnt ask for a better father.
So yea, when Im camping with my dad and at the end of the day we pop a beer and sit around the camp fire just hanging out, that might just be the best feeling in the world for me.
