"All I need at the moment is for you to embrace me, a gesture as old as humanity itself, and which means far more than the meeting of two bodies. An embrace means: I don't feel threatened by you; I'm not afraid to be this close; I can relax, feel at home, feel protected and in the presence of someone who understands me. It is said that each time we embrace someone warmly, we gain an extra day of life. So please, embrace me now," I say." - Aleph, Paulo Coelho.
I clearly recall telling someone before -- "All I need is a hug." No words. No drama. Just a plain simple warm hug.
What an amazing feeling it is indeed. In times of jubilation, a hug will suffice. In sorrow, a hug is all you need to show that you sympathize with that person in despair. To reconcile, the best way to show your concession is a warm embrace.
Tonight, I need a hug. Nothing more, nothing less. To ease the burden of a heavy-laden day. To erase bad memories and feelings. And to feel that I am home in the presence of someone who understands me. It's just a bonus that I gain extra 24 hours of my life :)
Let's hug more, everyone!
Goodnight!
