- When it’s raining out so you run to your car and see other people running and laughing too
- When something odd happens in public and you make eye contact with a stranger and smile
- When you leave someone so speechless they don’t know how to say thank you so they just hug you instead
- When the crowd at your favorite artists’ concert sings all the lyrics together word for word
- When someone gives you a gift and explains their whole thought process behind it while you open it
- Seeing your friend in the hallway and trying to have a conversation with them while you’re walking opposite directions
- Seeing your friend with a serious face from afar but then smiling as soon as they see you
- Stumbling over your words to the point you have to giggle and restart your sentence
- When you walk into an ice cream shop in the summer time and feel the whoosh of air behind you
- Knowing someone is smiling on the other end of the phone even if you can’t see their face
- Seeing people in the Target card aisle looking through several cards to pick the best one
- When you wake up at 3AM in the summer, flip your pillow to the cool side, and fall back asleep
- Wearing a new outfit or shoes and getting compliments from people you don’t usually talk to
- Purposely making plans really far in the future so you can be excited for longer
- When you bend down to tie your shoes and someone stays behind the group and waits for you
- When a really nice person surprises you and laughs at a mean joke
- Plans getting canceled when you didn’t want to go in the first place
- The other passengers on your flight clapping and stretching when the plane lands
- When people wave and make silly faces at dogs
- People staying up till midnight to wish their friends a happy birthday
- Walking at night with people and pointing at the moon like it’s your first time seeing it
- Little kids coming up to you and starting a conversation like you’re best friends
- Walking in a group and you’re all so tired you start bumping into each other
- Watching a beautiful sunset and seeing everybody pull out their phones for a picture
- When you procrastinated an important assignment and your friend says they haven’t started either
