Okay by definition is satisfactory but not especially good. Look around you. How many people do you think are "okay"? A lot. People settle into okay relationships and okay jobs and okay friends and an okay society. Okay to them is comfortable. Okay provides a warm bed and pays the bills and keeps the roof high up. People are fine with okay and that's okay. But okay isn't exciting. It isn't frenzied. Okay is mundane and its mediocre. Okay isn't an excuse to risk all you've got for the little things that thrill you.

Swell on the other hand is defined as excellent or very well. Very few people are swell. Very few people don't accept settling for anything and very few people fight for what they really deserve. Feeling confidently wonderful about yourself can destroy friendships, get you fired and sometimes feel lonely.

However, pleasing is well-defined as feeling happy or satisfied. When you're pleased you feel loved and grateful and jolly and blessed and beautiful and okay and swell and delighted.

So many things can be classified under pleasing feelings. Waking up to the rain splashing on your window, watching the sunset with your best friend, getting back with the love of your life after two years, reading your favorite book multiple times and not getting bored from it, having closures, being great at what you do, loving what you study, binge watching series, listening to your favorite artists singing from the top of their lungs, spending time in nature, listening to the sound of water, being able to say that you're still alive.. and well being happy around the people you like spending time with.

I am happy.
