That feeling of excitement

Do you know that feeling you get when you do, did or are about to do something exciting? That feeling in your stomach that makes you giggle all the time, shake like a 12-year old on Red Bull and bump up and down in your chair like you are about to explode? That feeling that stays with you for the next two or three days, until it finally subsides and then you think about the thing you do, did or are about to do again and it returns for just a brief moment.

I have that feeling right now, I did something very exciting and I just can’t stop feeling happy about it. I can’t tell you (yet) what I did -sadly- because that could ruin it. Besides, that is not the point of this blog. I wanted to talk about that feeling. That feeling that just keeps you in its grasp. Every time you think about it, you want to take out that picture you took while you were doing it. You want to read that e-mail you wrote. You just want to relive the moment, or be reminded of what is (or might be) to come.

Every time you look at that picture, e-mail, person or whatever it is that reminds you of the thing you do, did or are about to do, for a short while, you relive it. Or you relive it in your mind as if it is happening right now, even though it is in the future or the past. It is a great feeling, because it describes you at your best. The most exciting thing going on in your life at that moment. Something you live for, something you worked on for a long time.

Every fibre in your body wants to (re)live that moment before it is too late, before the feeling is gone, or something takes it away. It’s not always bad, having the feeling being taken away, it’s just the way it is. That’s life, right? For the moment you are that exited person, that person that lives for what you do, did or are about to do. You are excited and you want to share it with the world.

I wanted to share it with the world and now I did. I am happy with what I did, even though it might turn out to be false excitement. For now I am happy, shaking like a 12-year old on Red Bull and jumping up and down in my chair like I am about to explode. I love this feeling and I hope that it will stay. But if not, I am looking forward to that next feeling!
