life would be so much better with more cuddles, more time spent touching others, more hours of being less alone. every time I see a video of cats cuddling, I wish I were them. I wish I were brave enough to walk up to the people I love and just ask for a hug, an embrace, time spent feeling them close at hand. I yearn for touch, for proximity, for closeness. I feel lonely, and I wish I were more like a cat who climbs on your lap for as long as they need to. I just want someone to hold me tight for a little while.
