You wrote,[..>All< that matters is that you feel well...].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean here by the grammmatical structure of your statement above.
The generally accepted meaning of {all} in the context of your statement in question could mean {the whole}, which then could have your statement be meaning,[...the whole that matters is that you feel good...].
Then, a generally accepted meaning of {the whole} is to mean a complete or totality. If that is the meaning here, then your statement has the potential IMO to mean to some,[...the totality of what matters is that you feel good...]. Then a generally accepted meaning of {matters} is [regardless of the consequesnse]. If that is what you are wanting to mean here, then IMO your statement could be thought to have the potential to mean by some as;
[...the totality, regardless of the consequenses, is to feel good].
I am unsure as to what you are wanting to mean by your statement in question here, so if you could clarify that any of the generally accepted meanings could or could not be what you are wanting to mean here, and if those are not what you are wanting to mean to post here what could be different from those that IMO could have the potential for what you are wanting to mean,then I could have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
