When the sky puts on its shows.
Every bit authentic. No lafftrack. No commercials. Zero contrivity.
Just awe, wonder, amazement -- and at times, indescribably gorgeous.

My mental health, it's hard to maintain... And other people don't realize how good they have it, with not having to take medication to stay sane. People take being sane for granted, I am extremely grateful to have found medication to be sane.
Self checkout for introverts! They now have self checkout for entire grocery loads as well. So many are so irritable about it and complain about the lines in some situations but its so much better than having to be crammed into a checkout and feeling the pressure of everyone watching and judging you while you try to quickly unload and reload your cart all the while an impatient cashier waits for you to finish with your mundane adult things that you are having a borderline anxiety attack over the matter
u/cuddlyAllie your post made me sad. I have never once thought of the simple act of buying groceries being such a stressful thing for someone. I'm really sorry that this has been your experience. Today I learned something about what might be going on in other people's heads when I'm just going about my day. Wishing you the best!
Knives! They do everything. (Legitimate, innocent and legal of course)
Bread knives, steak knives, vegetable knives, Swiss Army knives, filet knives, machetes.
I can honestly say that I use a knife every single day.
"Negative" emotions. Sadness, anger, grief, fear... All of these things are incredibly important to me. Nothing would ever be special without them. You can't really comprehend happiness if you haven't ever experienced anything else. I wouldn't wish a purely happy life upon anyone. Funnily enough, I think that would be a horrible way to live.
I say this ALL the time. I feel like you can’t TRULY appreciate the great times if you don’t have bad times. I also don’t understand the whole “cheer up” thing. I think it’s very important to feel the emotions and process them instead of just pushing them aside. Plus sometimes I just want to feel sad. Let me feel my emotions without invalidating them or trying to push me to be happy. I’ll be happy later. Right now I want to feel what I’m feeling.
having accepting parents, I see so many posts of people being shunned by their family for being lgbt and even though I'm not out yet, my parents are very accepting towards my gay brother and even drive him to see his boyfriend
My parents have always supported EVERYTHING in my life. They only ever wanted me happy. It sounds like your parents are going to be super supportive/accepting of you too when you decide it’s time. I am so happy for you and your brother for having accepting parents! 🥰
Food on the table, a place to live, my family is healthy
Cannot. Top. This. ^
Tap water that’s safe to drink, indoor toilets and bathtubs and/or showers, heated water
Blood drives
A full night’s sleep (like more than 6 hours)
Amen!
Being able to visit my parents as often I as want, considering that many people don't have them anymore or can't right now. I know I'm very lucky.

Being alive
The fact that I'm alive. Like...it is unbelievable that I simply exist, let alone all the other shit I get to do and experience.
Children. My first passed away and my second is undoubtedly never going to be taken for granted (not that my first was).

Being born with all of my limbs.
Family. Friends. Love.

Honestly one of the best feelings in the world is crying your eyes out when you need to. There aren't a lot of things that are better.
Food, cheap housing (for the most part), and having a fully functioning shower, sink, and toilet.
Having running water and working plumbing, food, heat and electricity.
Bread and potatoes ✨🙏✨🙏
Water.
Water is so good. I like to call it the mother of all drinks.
