I don’t think I have been hugged properly the past few weeks. Maybe that’s why I’ve been feeling so down lately. I was lucky today because two of my closest friends came by the office—one completely by chance. It didn’t matter if people were looking. I squealed when I saw my best friend and hugged her with all my might. The way she looked at me, I knew she understood what I felt. And I guess that’s why she’s my best friend. Because without a word, we know that a hug will make everything better. Even just for now.
