You ever get a glass of water when you’re really thirsty, then when you drink it you’re like “oh my god yes, this is what’s been missing in my life” – and it’s as though nothing else exists except that pure feeling of blissful acceptance, a total one-ness with your body, an almost transcendental ecstasy.
Inevitably the feeling fades, but for those brief moments, you feel complete. It can come from different things too – great food; meaningful hugs; sex with someone you’re in love with; even challenging video games, which push and pull on different parts but still offer that deep sense of connectedness and fulfilment.
It’s nice, innit?
