You know those moments that you just want to hold onto forever? Those small things that keep you going, the things that make you wish life had a pause button? Here are ten of the best feelings in the world.

1. Listening to your friend talk about something they are passionate about.

Seeing their eyes light up and their smile grow is contagious even if it is something that seems silly to you.

2. The wagging tail of your dog when you get home.

Nothing feels better after a long day at work or class than your pets being overjoyed just to see you. Good boys.

3. Scream-singing songs with your friends in the car

Yelling the words to Year 3000 by the Jonas Brothers with your best friends is scientifically proven to make you forget about the essay that is due tomorrow and the boy who left you on read.

4. Your abs being sore from laughing so hard

If you are around the right people, you will catch yourself being unable to stop laughing over something completely dumb.

5. Hugging someone you haven't seen in awhile

Reuniting with a friend and squeezing them as tight as you can, you'll never want to let go.

6. Waking up early and seeing a beautiful sunrise

You're grumpy and exhausted, but then the sky seems to be showing off just for you and your mood completely changes.

7. Your parents saying they are proud of you

Enough said.

8. Cheering your friend on as they do something they love

Whether it’s a sport or a musical, seeing your best friends excel at something fills your heart.

9. When you're holding someone’s hand and they squeeze it a little tighter

They just want to let you know that they are there.

10. Finding a good book that you can’t put down

And getting so wrapped up in the plot that you forget about your own reality.
