There is nothing more sweet then having something platonic and then you cry because you’re at peace. Anyone else ever feel that way
Indeed! I've gone weeks without touch and as soon as someone hugs me I become mushy 🥹
Once had gone months without touch. Wanted a change to see if it'll help my mood so I went to a friend for her to box braid my hair. She loves my soft natural hair so tends to run her hands through it after combing/before braiding. On this particular day it sent chills down my spine and I began tearing up realizing how long its been since I had any connection.
Now I'm here so I don't have to get to that point. And in the meantime try my best to offer that sense of peace to others 🤗
Lately it's been hard for me to find someone to connect with.
No, crying is hell on the sinuses.
I’ve read a few times over the years that tears are good for your skin, so I often after sharing I don’t wear makeup with someone I’ll say crying is my secret skin care routine.
On a more serious note, I have absolutely cried from the relief that safe and platonic touch has brought me at various points in my life. I discovered professional cuddling after a physically abusive relationship years ago and it was so powerful and healing to learn how to feel safe being touched again, and that happened because of the non-negotiable platonic container professional cuddling created for me. I’m so happy to hear that other people are also able find a comforting emotional release in spaces with those clear platonic boundaries, professional or not.
