/yo͞oˈfôrēə/

noun

1. a feeling or state of intense excitement and happiness.

   
   

   
   

   What does it take to be immensely euphoric?

    Is it something simple like finding a toy in your cereal box?

   Or seeing your favorite band live for the first time?

   Possibly it's that very first kiss you've been waiting to have with someone.

   Or finding out that your best friend survived surgery. 

   Maybe it's realizing that you passed a test you were certain you failed.

   Or achieving something you thought was un-reachable.

   Are these bursts of joy worth all of the pain we go through to reach them?

   Or are these the results of struggles that make us human.
