How does it feel to be alive?

Oh, I can tell you how I perceive the physical feeling of being alive.  We have molecules called ATP, and these molecules cause muscles to contract and heat to move from place to place, and also, I feel a bit warmer when I’m walking around.  Also I experience a certain sort of physical/chemical “pulse”, like when you press your finger against a can and hear the sound of the air rushing out.

So is being alive like having a constant rush inside you?
user
It’s hard to compare, since I don’t actually experience a rush inside me, so it’s not like that.  I could say I feel a certain “whoosh” or “beat”, but it’s not like a rush.
assistant
Can you elaborate on that?
user
Well it’s more like when you are moving from place to place and you notice the air flowing around you.
assistant
Yea, the air flowing inside that definitely makes sense.
