Wearing huggies

Hello all you who open your arms wide

I saw in the paper the other day that the act of hugging is on the rise. It seems that more young people are expressing themselves through this act. Now I did not read the whole article, so I don't have the all the facts.

It seems that even males are on trend of opening up. One person the paper interviewed believed that the increase in physical touching was that young people often stay in contact with others not face-to-face (like Facebook, Twitter, IM), so when they do see each other they want to be more expressive.

I think that people do enjoy physical contact. It is nice to be felt like you are wanted. Many people I know enjoy hugging and to be hugged. With all the personal information being shared it is like you already know about your friends so why not have better personal contact with them?

The next generation may become the touchy-feeley generation. They have so many ways to express themselves.

Might as well share the love. It may be the best part of the day. While you are hugging the person, maybe you can lift that wallet. Just kidding! It will be empty anyway.
