It may be shallow, but one thing that reminds me why I suffer the slings & arrows etc is when someone makes me laugh
I mean really being blindsided in that I-wouldn't-have-thought-of-that-if-I'd-tried-all-day laugh out loud way.
Emotions fade over time, partners cheat, the new gym body you earned yourself blurs once you go back to pizza & beer. But somewhere, on a random forum, an intelligent person exists who can surprise you into snorting tea down your nose.
And making someone else laugh of course. I went home with a glowing nimbus the other day because of a stupid (though literate) joke I played on a friend at work. She discovered it when she got home & sent me a text that made me smile at everyone on the bus.
