Have you been feeling disconnected lately? Do you wake up believing that you have to conquer your day, all by yourself? You’re not the only one. As our world grows to be more and more individualistic, the connections between us are not emphasized as they should be. “Catching up” has become a mindless text or email, and finding time for authentic interaction is now incredibly hard to do. Between the screens, and the disconnect it leaves humanity longing for the reassurance of comfort.

Here comes the healing power of hugs.

A hug is the way we are able to unlock our hearts, together. There is nothing more beautiful about humanity than the way we are able to embrace one another, and become one.

I find it crucial to not only embrace your loved ones, but also be mindful about it. Let them feel the love you have for them through a hug. The next time you see a loved one in need of comfort, or simply just because, don’t hesitate to offer them a hug. Let this be a reminder that we are all in this together, and are figuring out life just the same. Let compassion reign, and hugs be the reason.
