I love this so much!! My old neighbors hug like this, and I find that their hugs are something I think about often and always look forward to. They definitely last a while, so you have to be okay with that. (And if you date them, you have to be okay with them doing that to literally everybody).

And I once drove across the country to begin a relationship with a man I barely knew, and when I got out of the car, he hugged me with T-rex arms. That's exactly how I described it.

It. was. DEVASTATING 😩

Once you get a good hug the bad ones are noticeably horrible. Ugh.

GOOD HUGS FOR EVERYONE!

I needed this today. An online embrace has never felt so real.

I'm always available for a good hug (online or otherwise).

This is the kind of oxytocin hug that leaves me wanting more… sometimes inappropriately so! Tricky if I’m not having much community in my life.

Be careful out there. This hug can be dangerous!
