EUPHORIA

When I say the word high, different people will come up with different meanings of the word. Some will immediately link it to the intoxicated feeling after having alcohol or some drug, a few others will link it to height, others wills say its a point in life when everything is great. For me, high is a state when I have this weird tingling and jingling happening in my body. These are situations when I feel so pumped up that I reach another state of being. When I was younger, I would sit in the back of papa's official vehicle, with its cushioned seats and white furry towels  and while ma and papa would sit in the front, I would sit in the back and make faces to the people sitting in the car behind us. That was my favourite thing the entire world. At that point in life, that was a high for me. Or going to dadi's place for winter vacations and calling bua 20 times to just confirm whether she was coming over with my sisters or not. The 10th grade class trip to this amusement park where our teachers had told us not to go to the water rides but despite that going to that water ride which was huge and then getting soaked to the skin in water, the next 4 hours we were a group of girls, in school uniforms, fully wet, having maggie. Breaking that rule gave me a high. The time I fell in love was a high. When he touched my nape or when he came out of nowhere in the school corridors and would hug me from behind or tickle me and run away, my whole body would be on fire. My first kiss with him to my last kiss with him was a high. Scoring marks and getting into my dream college was a massive high. The weird tingling and heaviness in my feet when I had my first shot was literally a high or when I took my first drag. When someone compliments me is a high, when I start liking someone is a high, when I score good marks in a test is a high, when I read a beautiful poem is a high. When I am able express myself with these words is a major high.

The thing is because each one of us has a different meaning of euphoria, we tend to overlook the smaller things that give us a high. Just because we think that only weed can give us a high, we forget about the high the hot jalebis give us. Just because we feel that nothing can match up to the high that vodka gives us , we overlook the high that his kiss gave you. What I am trying to say here is that we if look out for it then every other thing will be giving you a good trip and I mean whats better than being high all the time right?
