CONVERSATION: Who needs hugs?

MANILA, Philippines – Hugs are pretty powerful. The world definitely needs more of them!

There’s something about a warm hug that instantly works wonders on our systems. When someone takes you into their arms, it’s as if they’re saying a million things all at once: “Everything’s gonna be OK. I’m here for you. We’re in this together. I love you despite what you said.” 

It’s perfectly human to make mistakes, and to compound them with cold shoulders, assumptions, and hurtful words. But think about how many misunderstandings can be fixed with one simple act of affection. Once in a while, it’s important to let someone know that you love him or her – without saying anything. 

Last Wednesday, March 18, Twitter followers shared their favorite #HugItOut moments with us: Have you ever used a cozy embrace to patch things up? Is there anyone whom you’ve been dying to hug? Why don’t you go ahead and tag them?
