I want hugs and warmth I feel cold and lonely
I've felt this way for the last thirty one years. It only gets better with deeper self love and self care.
I've learned the hard way that the coldness and loneliness I felt had nothing to do with lack of companionship from others. It had nothing to do with giving or getting hugs. It had everything to do with what I wasn't giving myself.
Yes everyone needs some physical hugs and cuddles sometimes. But it means very little of I'm not giving myself some unconditional attention and warmth as well.
