I think familiarity is an underrated form of excitement. We often think excitement comes from trying new things or visiting new places, but I feel like sometimes the most comforting and exciting moments come from the familiar.
It can be something as simple as waiting to eat your favourite dish, the friend who you know will always finish your sentences, listening to the song you love which you have already played a hundred times.
It’s the small excitement which comes just before these moments, closely followed by the comfort that they bring. There is just something so special about knowing exactly what to expect but still anticipating it.
Excitement does not always have to come from adventure or something new, sometimes it can come from the things that we already know by heart. The things that are so familiar and cherished to us, that we can’t help but feel excited for them.
