I've seen a lot of pieces on various social media platforms about some of "the best things," or "the best feelings" in life. I thought I should contribute to this seemingly ever-growing list of ways an over-priced Starbucks drink with "cupcake" in the name sets your soul alight, or whatever the hell it is. So here you go.

1. Clean drinking water.

2. Fluffy puppies!

3. Not having Zika Virus.

4. A cute bikini!

5. Holding your significant other's hand in public without fear of being immediately harassed or killed.

6. Getting a friend request from that cute boy!

7. Holding your significant other's hand in public without fear of "inspiring" a maniac to harass or kill in the future.

8. Birthday cake!

9. Not being the victim of a terror attack (for now).

10. Making a new friend!

11. Not being the victim of a mass shooting (for now).

12. Getting a new iPhone!

13. Being just injured in a mass shooting, but ultimately surviving.

14. Doing your makeup perfectly on the first try!

15. Being able to afford the therapy you will inevitably need from surviving such a traumatic and senseless event.

16. A great sale!

17. Getting pulled over for speeding and just being pissed about having to pay a fine.

18. A hot shower! (See: Item No. 1)

19. Being able to turn on CNN and see a dumb, fluffy headline, because that means that at least nobody was killed in a noteworthy or especially horrifying way today.

20. "Relatable" "articles" on social media that make you feel less alone in your entirely meaningless day-to-day activities!

21. Having a GOP nominee who isn't a narcissistic, atomic bomb of xenophobic, horribly contagious, orange goop that is spread most rapidly by said orange goop furiously masturbating onto a mirror.

As always, enjoy your bird pictures du jour:
