Title (Dublin Core)

I Just Want A Hug

Description (Dublin Core)

I just want a hug. Nothing means more to me right now in the time of crisis than a hug. I am not much of a hugger. By me saying that I want a hug, that must mean something. It is strange to go visit your family and having to stay more than 6 feet away from them. Overnight we went from being able to hang out with our elderly family members to now not being able to hug them. I miss hearing my great-aunt say, “Give me some sugar” when she wants a hug. I miss being able to see my extended family. I miss being able to go over and hear stories about their life. I feel that the coronavirus has taken time away from that!

I just want to shop. I want to be able to go to the store without just going to get groceries. It happened overnight. I miss being able to shop. I don't even want to buy anything. I just want to go look. I have only been able to shop online. I will not buy anything online, but it’s nice to know that if I ever wanted to buy a $100 blanket, I know where to find one. I want to go to Ross and Goodwill. I mis being able to just walk in the malls. It has been a month! It may not sound like a long time, or like I have an addiction, but trust me, it is hard when your life comes to a halting stop. Not shopping with friends is hard. We would go at least once a month. We just shopped to shop. Sometimes we went shopping for my apartment or for clothes, but now we can't do that. Before the quarantine, I would hang out with my friends at least once a week. Now we have not physically hung out for a month, which has been very hard.
