juice, still a favorite of mine. Got a hug from the FedEx lady yesterday, and am still high. I need and wanted a hug, felt great. It's the little things

As a therapist at a substance use rehab, we have a strict no touching (including hugging) policy. But sometimes, I sense that’s what the person needs and I offer it anyway. It’s not often, but when it’s needed, it’s needed.

I’ve had a couple people (teachers, bosses, etc) who “shouldn’t” hug me give me awkward side hugs instead and trust me, I’ve always needed and valued them. Sometimes it’s needed!!! As long as it’s consensual, you’re doing the lord’s work 💓
