I Chose A Hug | What Do You Chose

There are so many ways to show Love…show we care….

I am some who doesn’t like shaking hands.. haven’t for a long time…

Albeit if I go for an interview, I won’t hug then… No Ill shake hands lol…

But otherwise I give hugs…You can also say I chose Love..

Because I do…

By the same token I would much rather spread Love than anything else…

and of course what you give out – you get back.. in one way or another…

And No not everyone wants a hug and I know that…

 Sorry I don’t care… I give hugs anyway…

I have never had someone ‘pull away’ yet…

Yes i’ve had ‘wet hugs’ much like a ‘wet handshake’ but thats Ok

I Chose A Hug – What Do You Chose

I don’t take it personally…

Forget Shaking hands etc… I like a Hug….

What does a Hug say – ‘I Care’..’I care about you’..and I do…

Thats probably why I was a nurse.. because I do care…

So when I saw this Post from the Ripple Kindness Project…

I Chose A Hug

I’ve fallen on hard times, there is a lot going on.

Things could be even worse and I really

hope they won’t go South even more.

The biggest thing I’m struggling with is loving myself.

In this turmoil, I’m currently travelling back from visiting my daughter who lives with my sister at the moment.

I had a row with one of my family members while they were taking me to my next means if transportation.

While I was on the train I couldn’t hold it in any longer and started to sob a little.

A woman that I didn’t know asked me if I was ok. I told her I wasn’t and that I didn’t know how to fix everything anymore.

She said:

“Do you want a hug or an opportunity to tell your story?

I chose the hug.

And she gave me a genuine, very big and long hug.

Now I am on another train as she had to travel further, but it’s very nice to know that there are little angels on our way.

And that even though we are down and out, there is always someone who cares enough to give you a great big hug.

And I would also like to share the kindness of the family that is taking care of my daughter right now.

At times, it’s very hard for me to accept their help, but still they keep on coming through. Even in the moments that I’m struggling to pick up on the ways in which they are trying to help.

Whats more – I have been here, and Im sure you have, where we may have a row with a family member…and we feel like ‘shit’….

For the record, I just reach out and say

‘I’m sorry’

the relationship for me is Far more important than any pride I may have…

If that doesn’t work – I just continue –

‘being there for them’ – telling them I love them..

They ‘usually’ come round eventually – remember you can only control YOURSELF…

You have no control over the other person…

Life is Just too frickin’ short…

I could also relate to this guy saying ‘Im struggling to love myself’

Oh Have I been there… having a rage inside me for the way ‘things’ turned out…

I had to do work on ‘forgiving’ myself… which fortunately I’ve come a long way…still WIP !:)

Its sooo important to love ourselves, to forgive ourselves…

so yes I will always Chose A Hug – what will you chose

However – continue giving those hugs, those compliments, those smiles…

In all honesty – we have no idea what anyone is going through…

So Give Everyone the Best Version of You You can Do…

and if you need a hug, I just simply say to someone ‘I need a hug’ and I

usually get one !! 🙂 or you could alway do what the guy in the video does…

Go On I Dare You 🙂
