You just got some great news. Life-changing news. When telling others about it you don't act or speak excitedly because you only have a dim feeling of happiness about it. However when climbing the stairs in your home you effortlessly bounce up them and that night when lying in bed trying to sleep your thoughts patterns are all short & jumpy and keep returning to the good news.

That's me, 100% ๐Ÿ˜Ÿ
