Give hugs!

Do you like to be hugged?
I do!

I love to be hugged and i like to hug others too! but to guys, no please.
I lived in a environment where i got hugged everyday. The person whom i hug the most is my mum. everyday when i wake up, and before she sleeps, i will give her a tight sqeeze!
Why?
Because she is very soft and nice to hug!

I feel that hug is not just an initimate physical touch with one another, but somehow, it just transmit your love, encouragement and acceptable to the other party.

When i was in my lower secondary, i know of this 2 wonderful classmates, Liling and Wendy, we still keep in close contact even till now! My secondary school life will never be the same without them. I remember whenever or wherever, wendy will always give hugs to the people around her, she didn't say much, but just hug, and pat our back, say.."it okay Myrna, it okay.." and automatically, i will just burst out in tears in her arms.

Our sec 1 and 2 class then was hmm...rather unique in a way. the girls are united in crying. Whenever 1 cries, the rest will follow suite! It's like a depression thing going around the class. I remember got once, it's me who started crying because of some personal issues, and the rest of the girls start crying too. Then all of us hid in the toilet, just exploded in our emotions and vulnerabilites. Our chem teacher was so shocked that she postponed the test on that day so that we can finish crying in the toilet. But hey! we are not trying to avoid the test ok. But it is during those period of time when we really share each other's tears and joy..We hugged together, we said to each other, "its okay...its okay, we must be strong.."

In JAMS church, some of u might know, it means Jesus for all Minds. It is for the intellectually challenged friends. I serve there almost every saturday and it is a place full of love. The helpers there really pour out a lot of love to the friends over there. I find that the intellectually challenged friends like to hold our hands, hug us, or just hi-five. To us, it just a friendly gesture, however to them, it's like representative of being accepted and loved. Whenever i go there to serve, i will give hugs to the girls, hi-five to the guys andtheir hands. They will also take the initiative to do that to me. Not because i try to act friendly, but i know this action may look simple to us, but to them, it has a deeper meaning :)

Have u hugged someone today?
Try doing so.
You never know how a hug can comfort a person and you will never know how this hug will mean to the other party.

A hug says a thousand words.

When you hug a person, the other party can feel your warmth and your heartbeat, and it's sincere. You feel like you are in a secured zone.

It's a reassuring kind of feeling.
