Hugs and Ben and Jerry's

Sometimes in life, you just need a hug.

...And Ben and Jerry's ice cream.

I think people grossly under estimate the good that can come from a hug. Just the feeling of someone else's arms around you brings a sense of...security? Safety? connection? Something like that.

I think it's because you can tell a lot more through touch than you think you can. A lot of times, you can tell a dishonest touch. When someone is giving you that hug or grabbing your arm or whatever for selfish reasons. But there is an honest to goodness different feel when that hug is for "Hello!" or "It's going to be okay" or something like that.

I wish people hugged more.

However, when you have decided to lock yourself away for the night, there is always en and Jerry's phish food. Which always is wonderful. :)
