Some people are memories.
Some people are lessons.
But every now and then… someone becomes a feeling.
Not a fleeting crush, not a convenience.
But a feeling that lingers —
like sunlight on skin after a perfect morning,
like your favorite song coming on at the exact moment you need it.
A feeling that’s hard to explain, but impossible to forget.
“You’re my favorite feeling.”
Six words.
No grand declarations. No elaborate metaphors. Just truth.
Because some people don’t need to do anything special.
It’s how you feel when they enter the room.
It’s the calm that washes over you when they call.
It’s the way your heart becomes a little less guarded when you hear their voice.
This post is not just about romance.
It’s about presence.
That friend who gets your silence.
That sibling who always remembers your birthday even when you try to forget it.
That person you think of when something funny happens.
Or something hard.
Or something beautiful.
They are not just in your life.
They are in your nervous system.
A part of your peace.
A flavor in your joy.
A home inside your chaos.
I think in a world obsessed with chasing the next thing —
the next goal, the next high, the next win —
we forget to feel.
We forget to honor the soft, sacred truth that some people aren’t milestones…
they’re moments.
And moments are what life is made of.
So today, write to someone.
Text them.
Call them.
Or whisper it in your heart if they’re not around anymore.
“You’re my favorite feeling.”
Because feelings fade, but the ones that stay —
they deserve to be seen.
And if no one’s ever said this to you:
You can be someone’s favorite feeling, too.
Just by being exactly who you are.
That’s the magic.
