As I listened to one of my favorite podcasters talk about the pleasures of life and how some of them can be so underrated like we do not even think of it as IT.

Life is nothing without living and even the little things we do impacts us. How we feel when certain things happen may not really sink in sometimes but when you think about it, you realize that it actually feels good. Especially when we miss it.

Like the first rain every season, we don’t know when it will come. But each time it does, it feels so good to witness it. One of the underrated pleasures of life yeah.
