A hug can cure a wound

I can’t lie; I have to say that this week has been quite challenging. I have not been feeling great, and I have yet to find the reason why. I have talked with my mom, my at-home therapist, and personal b*tch-slapper, and I still haven’t found why I am feeling the way I am feeling. It may be because I don’t want to face it, and as I said in my past articles, if one does not want to see things as they are, they will do anything to blur the image and not see what is right in front of them. So, as for me, I am procrastinating and victimizing myself because it was somehow an indirect way of my body telling me that I did need to rest and reset. A day for detoxifying and letting go, a day for realizing what is really going on and just accepting your reality and finding a solution to the way you are feeling.

Throughout the week, I read on a post that hugs can help you feel better, and I realized that they are underestimated. We don’t give hugs every day, and doing such can even release toxins that are harmful to your body. We need at least eight hugs a day, or even up to twelve. I am saying all of this because I gave my mom a hug, a genuine hug, and it felt detoxifying and a release of negativity. And as we have been in lockdown and in a pandemic for the past year, we live with the same people and are not giving them hugs constantly. When I felt bad this week, I felt the need to hug someone, which helped me cry and feel loved.

What I mean by all of this is, we may feel at times that we need to let go of toxins and toxicity but don’t know how to, or simply wanting to feel that somebody is there and you’re not alone, a hug can cure that, and it did for me. It allowed me to feel held, to feel whole, and to feel loved. So, why don’t you go and give a hug to the person that is right beside you?

And remember, when you are hugging, your hearts should touch...
