Crossing the border into a previously unvisited town, city or country.

Waking up early, then realizing that it’s your day off before your head leaves the pillow.
All wrong:
Crows croaking outside your tent early in the morning
Aiding someone who doesn’t expect it
The first time your child smiles/farts/says I love you/does something herself
Doing something with exceptional skill after years of practice
Cheating death
Nostalgic smells
Loving someone
The moment of insight
A very cold beer on an empty stomach
Sleep/water/food after going without for a long time
Gutbusting laughter
Came here for Conan, etc.

Put me to sleep, my work here is done.
I know I am a weirdo, but…
Appreciating my scars, injuries, and imperfections. It means I am still here.
The first time I took a giant golden puffball out of the oven I felt like I was the champion of the world.
The flavor of melons.
Robot Chicken did a great tribute to that scene:
Seeing something truly majestic in nature.
Passing on a skill, knowledge or interest in something.
Watching your children develop their own personalities and learn new things.

What about the love of a cat!?
Drinking cold, clean water.
I find it astonishing sex wasn’t mentioned even once - but then I clicked through. It was mentioned plenty, but the nice curators at Bits and Pieces did not feel we should see those answers. Sex is naughty, I suppose.
Heroin, I presume? Am saving that one for my twilight years.
