The feeling you get when the waiter fills up your mimosa at brunch and you think about how much food you've eaten and remember that you were supposed to buy groceries but oh my God the breakfast hamburger had a brioche bun and it's bottomless booze and you can totally workout double next weekend or something I guess.

That feeling you get when a gust of wind blows past you and you smell the first scents of spring in a wonderful mix of rain and grass and you think about how badly you wish it was warm enough to stop finally wearing a coat.

That feeling you get when you get all dressed to go out and meet someone and they call you at the last minute and cancel.

That feeling you get when you wonder if the voice in your head saying "you aren't good enough" is right or not.

That feeling of dread you get on your birthday when you realize that you are definitely, without question, too old to be living the way you're living, because no self-respecting adult should have to steal soup from their roommates because they were too hungover to buy groceries.

That feeling you get when you wonder if you're just another face in the crowd.

That feeling you get when you're nervous because you're so excited and everything is happening too fast and you know that when it's all over you'll miss it so you do your best to remember everything.

That feeling you get when you magically feel 100% better after someone gives you a big hug after a rough day.

Thanks! They have such expressive eyes, they always look like they're having a really profound moment. Plus, they love loafing around.

That feeling you get when you look outside and it's raining and you know it's going to be a miserable day, but you take a deep breathe, throw on your bag and step out your door because you remember that even on the crummiest days you can still eat a delicious soup for lunch.

The feeling you get when your skin bristles for the first time in crisp autumn air and you feel both sad because another autumn means another year has passed, and excited because the grays, reds, yellows, and oranges of autumn are so pretty it's hard to feel down. Plus, pumpkin-spiced coffee.

That feeling you get when you finally get a day off to spend the laying around the house with one of your best friends.

That feeling you get when you can finally spend a day laying out in the sun, trying to memorize what summer feels like before fall and winter gets here way too fast.

That feeling you get the first night after moving somewhere new, as you look at all the boxes and think about all the things you have to do before you can breath a sigh of relief, and even though you're totally overwhelmed a part of you knows that in a few months these first hectic days will be the ones you look back on the fondest.

That feeling you get when you come home and open the refrigerator thinking your Chinese food from last night is still in there and realize that someone has eaten it and all the great moments you could have had with your leftover Chinese food flash before your eyes like Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind but for microwaved pork lo mein.

That feeling you get when you're bored and antsy and you want to go out and do something but you can't think of anything to do and you feel like your skeleton's going to jump out of your body if you don't get out of the house but no one wants to do anything so you just sit on the internet instead.

The feeling you get when you lean in to kiss someone for the first time and for a split second everything is hanging in mid-air and your chest gets tight and you feel like you're falling and then they kiss you back.
