Hugs are wonderful expressions of affection, and I think people should hug it out more often! And hugs could mean a heck of a lot of different things, from "I love you" to "Good bye," and everything in between. The best hugs leave a lasting impression that transcends time and convey messages and emotions that mere words simply can't express. It could move someone to tears, end fights, or leave someone speechless. I LOVE HUGS! I really do, no lie. There's just something about them that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And no side-hugs either. Or those hugs where there's about a foot of space in between. Or quickie hugs. Those don't count. I only give those if it's physically difficult for me to give a full hug at that moment. Or if I don't really care about the person all that much. Or if there's something wrong and I'm just not feeling like it. Otherwise, I think I'm a pretty good hugger! Face to face, warm, cozy, not rushed but not absurdly long, and close enough and tight enough to squeeze just a bit and still be comfy--that's a perfect hug, I think. But definitely not tooooo close or tight enough to break ribs! And it also very much depends on the person too. It's got something to do with chemistry, y'know? (And yes, I just had to say that.) A perfect hug cannot fully be described in words--it's priceless. What are you waiting for? Go hug it out with someone! It's a great way to show someone you care, a priceless expression of affection, and it's absolutely free!

wow! hadn't seen such a thorough evaluation of hugs...i personally like a lot of personal space but a hug once in a while could be meaningful i suppose...from me it would not be such a strong indication of affection or anything else, and may even be more of something expected than heartfelt...i guess hugs mean very different things to different folks
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess that's true. That was kinda my sentiment, like, sometimes it's kinda weird figuring out if someone is a hugger or not, y'know? Anywhooo I'm definitely a hugger :) I don't know, there's something about it, I guess the fact that you allow that person to invade your personal space, essentially, is kind of beautiful. Because obviously, you don't just hug aaanyone, some random stranger or anything. You hug people you really care about :)
