Hugs – or lack there of
Yesterday I emailed my two closest friends, who live in my state’s biggest city about 2 hours east from where I live. I needed to talk about GP1 and the brain surgery. I needed comfort from somewhere – anywhere. I needed someone to know how alone I feel, and for them to at least semi-understand… I mentioned (with much trepidation and many second thoughts, because I don’t like exposing myself, however much I feel driven to do so) that I could really use a hug and that there aren’t any for me, where I live. I don’t have any friends that are that close enough for hugs.
At least one of my friends didn’t get the terrifying emotion. I got a one liner email back and “hugs”… I’d rather not have had any email at all. And she’s the friend that is supposed to be sensitive to words and writing.
No contact from the other friend. It just makes me feel more isolated.
But that’s my life…

Hi
On the blogsphere
you are never alone.
Never isolated.
There are always people around
who will read,
may understand
may empathise
may share your feelings
even if they do not write back.

Sorry
I forgot to add,
(I am not really a ‘hugging’ kind of a person,)
but here is a “cyber hug” for you.

Thanks, little indian.
You’re the first person that has offered a hug to me in months.
Sorry I didn’t get back sooner.
Sometimes, I can be without internet access, for quite a stretch.

You are welcome, misslh.
I just happened to be passing through
when read about your loneliness.
How could I refuse a hug?
Even if just a virtual one,
till you find someone to give you a real one.
Technology is meant to bring us closer.
it doesn’t really, does it?
Hope you find your
back again, soon.
