Tearing down the walls.
I saw it on tv today, Lucy said the first time she hugged Douglas Q was in his coffin. I found that really sad. And it also struck me. Because you see, I'm very guarded. I'm not the type who hugs, touches, or holds people. Unless I consider them very close to me (or one of my nephews and nieces). I'm a big ball of awkwardness when it comes to these hugging stuff.
It takes a rather long time for me to warm up to people, and longer time for me to let them into my circle. But the moment I do, I tear down the walls I've painstakingly erected around me.
That short clip about Lucy made me think about tearing the walls completely and be less guarded. And just hug, and touch, and hold. And let go of doubts or inhibitions.
Because really, how sad is that, that we only muster the courage to hug someone only when they're already gone?

Thank you, Jan! I wish you the same kind of hugs! And lots of it everyday. =)
Saw that one, too. Like you, I'm very guarded. I love hugging people close to me like L and the boys, but to others... ahhhhhhhhhhhhh lisodan ko.
So, I think I'll start hugging people.. including you..one fat big bear hug.
pareha ta, ai, i'm not a big hugger. and the walls i've built around me are thick and strong. this gives me something to think about.

Hi Jops! I guess, those of us who've been hurt deeply built the strongest walls. Let's start hugging, Jops, especially those we love. =)
