I''ve had the Hallmark Channel (W Network here in Canada) on all day, watching Christmas movies in the background. They're pretty, heartfelt (yes, a bit too sappy sometimes too), and always end well. Lots of themes about loss and love.

Anyway, even with the volume on mute I can often kind of tell what's going on in the plot. These two characters, man and a woman working together on some business project (whatever, not important), just gave each other a hug and there was a camera on each of them, cutting to their different reactions. It was obvious they both have feelings for each other but haven't expressed it openly yet (they'll end up together, don't you worry), so the hug was long, lingering, but also kind of sad. They clearly did not want to say goodbye.

And it got me to thinking. Do you think the world is missing more hugs? Or are they too abundant already/insincere? And does it matter if it's the same gender, or opposite?
(IGNORE COVID. Who wants to talk about that again. Pretend we're living not in a time of Covid.)
Do you want more hugs, or do you prefer your personal space?

I'm very affectionate with people I'm close to. But I don't like hugging complete strangers as a greeting. I would hug some people I've been talking to online, if I ever met them in person. I've even dreamt about that.
