eagerness
Can't wait feeling
Eagerness is enthusiastic readiness or impatience to do something.
It suggests forward-leaning energy—wanting something to happen and wanting it now: Her eagerness to help was obvious, He accepted with an eagerness that surprised me.
The word carries positive connotations of vitality and genuine interest, though excessive eagerness can seem desperate or naive.
