All we need is a comforting embrace to ease our troubles.

Just the warmth of a hug to uplift us.

Like a soothing bandage that brings comfort and relief.

At times,

A warm hug can provide the answer we seek,

Even without a specific question.

Hug yourself for being grateful.

And one more squeeze.

So go ahead,

Hug it out,

And let the warmth of connection transform you from the inside out.
