What are some reasons you feel happy to be alive?

[storm coming.]

I’m happy to be alive because of:
-long hugs from someone you’ve missed
-warm laundry straight out of the dryer
-the feeling of the warm sun on your skin
-the exhilarating feeling that rollercoasters give you
-long conversations with someone like-minded
-late night drives just listening to music
-getting lost in a book
-cheering up someone when they’re sad
-laughing until your stomach hurts
-the endless new food you’ll discover and love
-the endless places you’ll travel to
-inside jokes with your loved ones

My headphones, because I have misophonia and they (mostly) block out noises I don't wanna hear

i'm happy to be alive because i love being known. i love being understood by people, something that's just beginning to happen to me after many, many years of being really outcast, bullied and misunderstood as a child and teenager. i just started college this september and i've made some incredible friends, as well as gotten surprisingly closer with some friends i knew since secondary school.
there's one friend who i hang out with for hours basically every day, and it's so much fun to feel our friendship grow the more we hang out. we tease eachother to death now but he's so much fun to hang out with. he studies history, and just gave me a massive 800-page book on eastern european history purely because he thought i'd enjoy it.
there's a girl i've known since secondary school who i was always casually friends with, but once college started we made plans to hangout every day and became extremely close. she's one of my best friends now, and even though we haven't seen eachother in a while because of exam season, i met up with her today to tell her some big news and it was like we hadn't spent any time apart at all.
two of my best friends from secondary school i'm closer to than ever. one of them i text all the time, and he sends me some of the funniest and most ridiculous instagram reels i've ever seen. while the other rarely replies to texts, we've started meeting up and going out to drink more often and every time i see him we bounce off eachother comedically like rubber.
i met a girl through a friend who just so happens to be in my english lectures, who i talk to frequently over instagram and have so much in common with - mainly our shared love of it's always sunny in philadelphia.
all of these people perceive me and know me in a way that i thought nobody ever would, or even care to. every minute i get to spend with them is absolutely incredible and i can't believe where i am now after the last 2 years of absolute hell i've been through lmao
keep going everyone! i know it might be hard at the moment, but it does get better. it's so much brighter once you get through the other side of the tunnel.

I get to experience art like music and drawings and that's awesome
There's also being able to have friends which I haven't had the chance to do for a lot of my life until the last 2-ish years (I actually enjoy being around people??? I never would have expected this)
And cuddling with cute fluffy animals. Especially if they're already super affectionate
