Depends on the hug - and the hugger.

What a beautiful piece! Thank you for sharing this with us! I grew up in a family that was mostly touch averse so I was prone to bottling up the crave for any sort of physical intimacy. This post certainly helped me envision how cathartic and relaxing it would be to hold and be held in a sincere embrace!

I hope you get to experience that, Mona. My family is affectionate, but that doesn't prevent hugging from having an element of cringe about it. Still, when a hug goes right, it's glorious.

Better to hug than not to hug at all!
