I NEED A HUG

 When was the last time you asked someone how they are feeling and got a genuine response?????

I know what is in your mind " What the hell!!! It's just been a few minutes ago and I got a good or mediocre reply." Read the question again, when was the last time when someone who is not so close to u talked about something terrible they are going through? We all have a nature of seeing people who don't reach out to us as being too busy with their stuff or worse, 'has changed a lot and outgrown old friends'. I don't know why old friends who have been so close to you once or mere acquaintances speak to u after months and begin with the weirdest question "Have you forgotten me?"  Wow!! doesn't that seem like the best opening line? 

But No.

Hey people, 

Didn't take another year, but did take quite a few months to transfer my thoughts to my fingers. I know you are in a dilemma with all those questions and a weird title (maybe not an expected way to begin a writeup)

Yes, I need a hug. Do You know Why? Because a hug is the only thing that can calm me up, that can give me the warmth I can't find among all the little things around me. Do you remember once I wrote about the little thing that made me happy ?, I might have also told you about finding happiness in all the little things around you. I used to wonder why certain people can't find happiness seeing a flower blooming out or a baby smiling at them. Now I know. It is because for them everything is freezing cold inside and out. A few days ago I was scrolling through Instagram stories and WhatsApp statuses with 2022 wraps. I was shocked!!!! the ones who posted the happiest smiles and trips had written down that they have been going through terrible things, they had depressive days, and they have cried hugging pillows. So what were they showing off? Why didn't they post anything on their depressive days? Why did they not post a picture when they were crying? Nobody would want to see someone crying, right? Social Media is mainly meant to showcase your happiness, maybe. 

all those questions were raised just because of those stories by certain people. I was wondering who would have stayed with them when they were crying? Who would have assured them that they are being loved, they are doing good and things would be better in the future. Who do you think would have sat down close to them silently making sure that they were not alone? Who would have hugged them tight and stopped them from shivering from their fears? 

When was the last time someone told you that they need a hug? When was the last time that you have been there for someone...?

PS: It's not an entertaining topic, I know. But, Life is not just happiness...

All is well people... Good things take time.
