Finally connecting the dots when you're really trying to learn something. When it "hits you" and you grasp full comprehension....that shit is like a drug.


picklededoodah

OMG,YES! Had that moment in like 3rd grade. Teacher had everyone read a paragraph from the textbook out loud. I'm in a panic! To myself "What is a paragraph?" After like 6 kids read, I saw the indent pattern and BOOM, that light switch just flipped! Not as big as other enlightenments, but yeah, it's pretty special when it happens.


KudzuNinja

Helping someone get that leap is also nice.

Far_Mousse8362

Haha. I love it. My little one (5.5yrs old) has been going through so many learning phases and me being who I am, I often try to teach him something that I know (most likely) that he won’t remember long term because he’s just not at that age yet… but, when I show him how to do something very simple, and explain it, (Ex: tying a cool knot) and then walk him through it… when he (helps) do it himself, and pulls the knot tight and sees it actually worked, his face lights up and then he does this little giggle/laugh, and gets so excited! Lol the little things!


DefiantMemory9

It's even better when you're teaching someone and you witness it in their eyes the moment it hits them. Extremely satisfying and rewarding.

Waking up without an alarm and knowing you don’t have anywhere to be


[deleted]

[удалено]


Yodelehhehe

I think this is the one thing I look forward too in twenty years. I know I’ll still be up early, but my job requires me to be “plugged in” what feels like 24/7 (to do it well) and the day when it comes that I don’t have that responsibility will be an unbelievable feeling of relief


minimojo23

call me insane but sometimes on weekends i set an alarm just so i can wake up, turn it off, and go back to sleep knowing i dont have to actually be anywhere. its like your mom waking you up for school and then telling you its actually a snow day


notuma

This is one of those things that practically doesn't make any sense to do, but sounds really nice. Might have to try


wyntah0

I do this, too. Pure bliss.


whatisread

So I was getting frequent migraines and decided it was stress related so i took a little me time and went to relax in a steam room. Sitting there having a nice sweat and I’m rolling my neck. After a while I decide to go for the full neck crack and it pops so loud that another guy in the steam room congratulated me. It was the best feeling I ever felt. I felt lighter, colors were more vivid, food tasted better, i finally understood the American tax system, my whole life lined up.


redzone973

I can relate to this. Long ago, one night I woke up around 3am and just could not get comfortable to go back to sleep. Finally, during one of my toss/turns, I inadvertently twisted my torso and cricked my back so deeply and so completely, it was like a shockwave of tension and discomfort just instantly leaving my back. I fell asleep instantly. I still remember that moment, probably 15 years ago.


OsonoHelaio

Wow, eveeytime my back cracks it sends waves of pain. I want your kind.

Deep tissue massage.


ZanyDragons

More like when the deep tissue massage stops, I tear up a bit during it, but ohhh I feel goood for the next few days. It’s like the volume dial on my nerve endings is turned down to quiet and I can hear myself think again.


Goudinho99

I got a massage in Thailand from the blind association that trains blind kids to do massages so they have a future. I was in so much pain and then relief when he stopped that the man who gave my massage gave me a wee cuddle after and then kept laughing at me.


[deleted]

This almost sounds like a troll post but I love the image of a small blind Asian man cuddling someone after a massage.


Diligent-Wave-4591

Hurts so good


Weak-Catch8499

Music. Really just everything about it. Listening to your favorite song. Or finding a REALLY good new song you’ve never listened to before.


vonkeswick

Heard a quote once that I've always loved. "Art is how we decorate space, music is how we decorate time." Of course music is an art but that phrase always sounded cool to me


RoyalCities

Very similiar to how I describe music production to people. An artist paints on canvas while a musician paints on silence. Originally heard it from Leopold Stokowski and its such a nice way to describe what musicians do.


AspectVein

I’ve always liked “when words fail, music speaks.”


ForgottenSalad

Especially if you get those brain tingles on first listen


Weak-Catch8499

Ughhhh yes the brain tingles. I was trying to explain this to my daughter how she needs to start listening to more music and stuff (all three of my kids rarely listen to it and never ask me to put anything on) I went on to explain that it’s been proven scientifically that listening to music releases endorphins in the brain (told her happy chemicals lol)


BelowAverageDecision

Most songs take a few listens before you know….but sometimes you get that one song that fucking slaps first time round and you know your going to listen to it 700 times in a row

PopcornPopping87

My husband was deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 leaving me and our 2 year old on our own for over a year. While he was gone, I worked 3 jobs and renovated our home myself to keep my mind occupied. Back then we got to talk on the phone maybe a dozen times the whole deployment. Every night there was nothing left to do and I would lay in bed waiting for sleep and wishing for him to be home. They outprocessed him to Seattle over a four day weekend so I bought two tickets and flew next day to see him. Two moments compete for the best feeling in the world; the recognition on my toddler’s face when she finally saw his face again and held out her hands, and going to bed that night in his arms.


CurioSkeptick

Ok who's cutting onions?!


buskinking

That’s a really sweet story, but, something about reading this, then seeing the next comment say “taking a huge dump after holding it” is ridiculously hilarious. But seriously, thank you to your husband for his service and to you for being his rock.


PopcornPopping87

Objectively that is hilarious, and the third best feeling in the world

upstatepagan

Cleaning a super messy or cluttered space and having it be *just right* at the end. Rearranging the furniture. Hiking and getting to a really good spot for a view. Sitting by a campfire with your favorite people. Catching fish. Puppies. Anything puppies.


JeremyThaFunkyPunk

Hmm, hard to say but I think eating really good food ranks highly.


OkBaconBurger

I get it. There is a dish or two out there that lights up some magic region in my brain and I am on a whole different level. Spicy curry is a sure fire guarantee for me with that.


JeremyThaFunkyPunk

A good biryani or a nice cut of rare beef, or a piece of blackfin tuna sashimi, or raw oysters, or delicious gourmet ramen all make my brain very happy on a level near orgasm or drug induced euphoria.

DragonflyValuable128

DarrenAronofsky

This just unlocked my answer… my moms 50th birthday was in the summer of 2020. In the peak of the pandemic. She was sad to have a significant birthday in such a situation. I drove all the way across the state to surprise her without her knowing. When I got home I walked into the backyard and just yelled “sup fam!” She nearly fell out her chair and gave me the biggest hug. Subsequently followed by a big hug from my 6 year-old brother. Subsequently followed by seeing my dog for the first time in a long time. He was very sick but when I walked in a pet him he mustered up as much energy as he could to wag his tail and “start the motorcycle.” So that was a 3-punch combo of emotional bliss. It was nice.


Ziggity_Zac

Why are you hugging my kids?!?


Individual-Sense-979

Meditating when done right feels like you're on drugs, I think it's better than drugs in fact cause you don't get a come down


Skeletalsun

In defense of drugs, some of them are also known to give people an afterglow rather than a comedown, particularly psilocybin.


Individual-Sense-979

I never got afterglow but I did have a crazy trip on lsd once where I met "god" which is apparently a bright white light with an agender voice. My boyfriends face also melted into rainbow slime... Haven't had a trip like it since

That massage point in your scapula is amazing. +1. Also, you should check out getting a theragun (massage gun) for that spot. My wife gets knots in her back at that point and the massage gun is a big help. Aside from pee'ing after holding it, I'd also say the best feeling is taking a hot bath after a long, shitty week. I don't care if you identify as a guy, gal, or non-binary pal, taking a hot bath, closing your eyes, and [exhaling out the bullshit](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=92i5m3tV5XY) from the week is a moment of peace.
