25 of the Best Feelings in This Life

We live an incredible life. We live on a beautiful Earth filled with endless places to explore. We coexist on this Earth with billions of beautiful people living their own little lives. Every day there are possibilities to fall in love and opportunities to create whatever reality you dream of.

The life we live is a balance of all the good and all the bad, things we can control and times when we’re just along for the ride, feeling stressed and then that glorious feeling when you finally finish that thing that’s been weighing on you, being heartbroken then later finding that person you fall head over heels for without fear of the unknown.

Life is a balance. The bad parts are inevitable, but the good parts that balance it are so, so good.

Here are 25 of the best feelings in life. The ones that remind you how beautiful this life is, even when it feels like the bad parts are overwhelming you.
