Potatoes.

You know that feeling you get from scratching the right spot?
It feels good doesn't it?
Really, really, unnecessarily good.
I wonder why that is?

I recently got my haircut
trust me, it was long overdue
so now I have little-to-no-hair
but if feels so good when I rub the back of my head
it's like finding the right spot to scratch.

Oftentimes, I wonder why exactly we were given such capacity to enjoy simple things
I mean, really simple things.
The smallest things in your day may make you smile
It could be putting your feet up after a long day of work
Or watching someone that isn't you get harassed on the train.
Hey, I said I didn't judge.

I just wonder why we were given the...chemicals if you will to enjoy things.
Most people call them endorphins
I don't know what that means
but I look at it and I think "dolphins"
Wait...you think it's possible...
...no, it can't be...
Engrish?

...Nevermind.
Anyway, yes, endorphins
Do all animals have them
And if so, do they affect them in the same way that it does us?
the mind creates thousands of pleasurable responses to any given sensation
But are we the only creatures to enjoy it?

Or were we given them because life is meant to be hard?
Let's say Karma has destined life for humans to be difficult
So in return we were given the capacity to find solace in small things.
I'm not entirely sure how that works
but hey, whatever gets the universe moving, I suppose.

I'm tired, I feel like taking a nap.
