Having meaningful sex

What @dxs said.

Having a deep hug/embrace.

Arrogance.

Singing with friends.

Caring for toddlers.

They never sleep and they never leave your side.

Being heard and understood.

Having a steady and respectable income.

reading a good book.

Farting in a packed to capacity lift/elevator, they just know it was you.

The moment when you know a romance has begun.

Meeting an old friend’s eye when thinking the same thing.

Meeting with old friends. And I second looking after toddlers and preschoolers. I’ve never been happier in my life or work than I have been working at daycare. Having a bunch of little ones run up to you for hugs when you get to work is so much better than sitting in an office with an asshole boss.

Self-acceptance.

Until I learned to accept myself as I am, I was perpetually lonely – whether alone, in a crowd, or in a lover’s arms.

Since finding contentment within, I have not felt lonely – whether falling in love, being dumped for not being attractive enough, or when dealing with a personal crisis on my own.

Companionable solitude. The description may not make sense to others but it makes perfect sense to me.

joy

Being happy.

Being kissed by a dog.

Contentment
