    Out of your options, love. But not in the romantic sense... I have a powerful, almost painful love for the human race, for the goodness and acts of beauty and kindness that we are capable of, a love for the noblest traits of mankind if you will. My own love life has been a rollercoaster recently but it's this greater, universal love that keeps me grounded, keeps me hopeful...

    If we're going to go obscure here...
    sonder
    n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

    Edited to copypasta from the source because the full definition is much more poetic.

      Yes.

      I've felt this way since I was 14.
      I feel like every interaction with a human is an amazing experience, and that I am lucky to enter that person's life, even just for a moment. To encounter a new life is an honor, in my opinion. To play a role in their existence and their perception of all that is life...

      Sorry, now I'm just getting pretentious.

        Not at all. I try to avoid blanket statements... but I think, in the end, we truly live for those moments of connection, even the fleeting ones... everything is temporal in the end, what matters is what you felt. Even tiny moments like a shared joke with a passing stranger can become a sort of balm for the soul... I know some would disagree but for me that connection is like breathing, to be away from people too long puts me off balance, disoriented. Probably why I've been a little out of sorts this spring break. XD

    • Everyone knows this, everyone thinks this, it's common sense, and love is not the only emotion that could come of it.

    “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”
    ― John Lennon

      Hello,
      Is there anybody in there?
      Just nod if you can hear me
      Is there anyone home?

      Come on
      Now
      I hear you're feeling down
      I can ease your pain
      Get you on your feet again

      Relax
      I'll need some information first
      Just the basic facts
      Can you show me where it hurts?

      There is no pain you are receding
      A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
      You are only coming through in waves
      Your lips move
      But I can't hear what you're saying

      When I was a child I had a fever
      My hands felt just like
      Two balloons
      Now I've got that feeling once again
      I can't explain
      You would not understand
      This is not how I am

      I... Have become comfortably numb

      O.K.
      Just a little pin prick
      There'll be no more aaaaaaaah!
      But you may feel a little sick

      Can you stand up?
      I do believe it's working
      Good
      That'll keep you going through the show
      Come on
      It's time to go

      There is no pain you are receding
      A distant ship's smoke on the horizon
      You are only coming through in waves
      Your lips move
      But I can't hear what you're saying

      When I was a child
      I caught a fleeting glimpse
      Out of the corner of my eye

      I turned to look but it was gone
      I cannot put my finger on it now
      The child is grown
      The dream is gone
      I... Have become comfortably numb

      Pink Floyd "Comfortably Numb"

    My favorite feeling ever is contentedness.
    Being totally satisfied with everything, not excited or exhausted, not happy or upset, not bothered by anything. Totally relaxed, silent, alone, comfortable with myself and my surroundings, with some calm music playing, no negative feelings keeping me from doing anything.

    Just living, contently. It's perfect.

    I don't really like these options, but I'll just go with happy, since that was my answer anyway. Happiness is good:).

    I picked Happiness. It's my favorite because, unlike some other positive emotions like love, it can never hurt anyone. And happiness is static. It's always there beside you. you just have to acknowledge it.

    "I wonder what happiness could look like if we could give it a form?
    The Shape of happiness might resemble glass.
    Even though you don't usually notice it, it's still definitely there...
    You merely have to change your Point of View slightly...
    and that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light...
    I doubt that anything could argue its existence more eloquently."

    Mine is when everything is hilarious, I love laughter and joking about dirty things and stupid silly jokes that is when I am at my happiest but the thing is this state emotion is hard to come by. I'm usually numb and I don't like it.

      Do you happen to have ADHD? When me and my brother don't take our meds we are like that, it's amazing, and to correct my last comment high is being chill, not as fun.

  • dom180

    I had an answer, but I can't remember what the exact word is. If I remember correctly (and I might well not remember correctly), it meant a very strong but temporary feeling of love; "honeymoon period" love. That's a heck of a good emotion. I used it in an IIN profile once, after I stumbled across it online, but I can't for the life of my remember what the word was. (Hint: it's not infatuation.)

    The euphoria you get when you're listening to a piece of music that is perfect, and describes where you are perfectly.

        Yeah, it is *very* similar to infatuation. I was just looking for the really fancy word for it. Funnily enough, even though it's practically a synonym I couldn't find it on any online thesauruses.
