Wanting a hug is your heart looking for somewhere to lean
Wanting to be held isn’t weakness, and it isn’t being dramatic. When we are tired, scared, or hurt, we instinctively want to be caught, to know we aren’t carrying everything alone. This longing shows how hard you have been holding on, and that you deserve to be treated gently.
In the Seaside Loft, give yourself a little warmth first
In the Seaside Loft the waves touch the shore again and again, like someone softly patting your back. Wrap yourself in a blanket, hold your own shoulders, and take a few slow breaths, or write on a bedside note the person you most wish could hold you, or the words you most want to hear, and fold it away so it stays only on your device. If you can, try telling someone you trust, “I’m a bit worn out today and could use a hug.” If this loneliness and longing stay heavy for a long time, it may help to talk with a professional.
No account, no name, and you can leave whenever you like.
