HUGS! HUGS!! HUGS!!!A unique but pleasant phenomenon. Hugs are naturally guaranteed, infact nature encourages hugging as this action is also found in both plants and animals hence it is not only limited to the human family. Hugs do take place between family members, friends, lovers, spouse etc

HUGS as it were makes us feel good, less stressed and courageous especially one that comes with a back Pat. Hugs are also meant to convey messages of comfort, condolences, support and strength especially when words seems to be insufficient or simply not enough, kind gestures and deeds such as hugs might seem so simple but it goes a long way to keep one going. It promotes happiness and joy especially in terms of reunion after a long period of time

Hugs do come in different ways due to the situation and condition surrounding it
The polite hug, bear hug, tight hug, romantic hug, back hug, twirl hug, eye contact hug etc are few forms in which hugs can actually be demonstrated.

Although I've received and given out lots of hugs that I've lost count, I cherish this particular hug I received from someone dear to me and I'm grateful, a camera was on standby ever ready to capture the captivating scene.

You might be wondering who that was, well it was a hug from an adorable soul....MY MOM
Mom was so excited that we were opportuned to serve God together again as a family after the 2 years break due to the global pandemic covid19 and I'm sure this hug was worth it.

_{it sent shivers down my spine}

Honestly, I feel butterflies in my tummy when I'm hugged, it generates some kind of uniqueness in me that my presence is highly appreciated, my self worth increases and my esteem and confidence glows relentlessly. To me, hugs shouldn't be given or received only at very important occasions, try to make everyone feel at home and this could be done through simple acts as HUGS.

Well, there are several hugs I would classify as special and rare and the picture above is a typical example, I've also missed lots of hugs by my loved ones who are far away from me due to distance barrier, hence I tend to hug or be hugged by them once in a blue moon only when they visit or vice versa.

As an extrovert, I hug thousands of people around me both males and females you know but not everyone I meet and due to my social life others are free to hug as well, they don't shy away nor feel they'll be embarrassed and that's become I'm warm and open towards everyone. As I had said earlier, hugging shouldn't be meant for special occasions, nature gave us free, give it out as well.
