What a nice message! Sometimes all we need is a little connection to help us through a tough day. Although I usually dislike being hugged, I do appreciate small gestures that show someone is there. Just simply taking the time to ask someone what's on their mind can make such a massive difference!
I'm glad you got a hug on a day that you needed it, and were able to give one back to another friend on a different day. Connection spreading through kindness is one of life's coolest magics I think π
Spreading kindness makes the burden lighter for each one of us. I'm curious as to why you do not like hugs though? Hehe
