Re: What is one thing you won't take for granted after this?

I had a park hang with my improv team recently and as I was greeting them I had these weird, unbidden physical memories of hugging them. Like, the psychic sensation of embracing each of their bodies, and remembering so clearly how each of them felt mid-hug.

I miss hugging.
