So...
I'm pretty sure everyone in this world has a particular things that makes them feel involved with what is happening in the world at the current time, or excited at future prospects, or even proud of the actions some being is taking {whether it be your best friend or your country}. Something that makes you feel, you have a purpose, or that you understand, and feel comfortable
I mean like, for example, if one participates in a protest, they feel like they have real cause or purpose, and there are many of you, you feel like you're making a difference.
Really I would like to know what makes YOU feel. Of course, one assumes there'd be many things to make one feel different things =]
I don't know if that even makes any sense, in my head however, it does.
I was thinking about this as I looked out the window as the helicopters came past really low on manoeuvres, as they often do. I looked out the window, to see a vague outline against a slightly paler night sky, there were no lights on the chopper. However, I suddenly felt a sense of longing towards being with them, at the same time completely safe, and also very proud of my brother and my country, all from watching the helicopters on manoeuvres.
So I ask... what makes you feel?

Intellectual challenge. Working out new things - and preferably things no-one else has worked out before. Nothing motivates me like having to figure things out. Weird, but there ya go...  |

Driving a car very often gives me a very relaxed feeling that I never want to lose. I always regret arriving at my destination then.
Getting great new ideas for a story to write or just plotting out storylines in my head always gets me exited.

Helping other people, just by listening to their problems and trying my best to offer any advice I can to help them. That gives me the greatest feeling in the world, and being able to make them smile and forget about their problems. That really makes me feel like I exist for a reason.

Yes I used to find that this gave me a serious sense of satisfaction, untill the roles changed, and then I realised I didn't have anyone to turn to, and I felt like I was carrying everyone else's burdens, and they just didn't care. Instead of this making me want to help people more, because it seemed theres not enough helpful people out there, it just turned me kind of bitter inside. Shame really. |

Lapses into fantasy and imagination.
Personal empathy.

But... I'm right here...  I'll answer when I haven't gotten three hours of sleep by the way. There are probably more requirements than having slept, given how I haven't answered so far.  Übereil |

among the mini traffic jam, at the roundabout nearest to my place. sunset & there's a drizzle. streetlights on, so are the car headlights.
the feeling is melancholy & yet, the scene is strangely beautiful. maybe it's the lights. maybe how the raindrops refract the lights.
**********************************
the sun has set fully, yet its dying light colour the sky with such blue, i don't know what one calls such blue. & with the drizzle stopped, the smell of the air, asphalt, the slight breeze - i feel so calm, the world is beautiful, all is right.

Whenever I do a program at an orphanage... Definitely It's so rewarding to see how happy the kids are while we're playing the games with them, and afterward we always spend time counseling them. It's so fulfilling, my life, I could never give up on it |
