what you are saying here is probably the best explanation of why i hug my t. It was strange at first, but mostly it was my goal to be the kind of person for whom it was not strange to hug, to be connected. It was more about the habit of connecting than the hug itself.

Eta - i think its made me feel more connected to people on pc. Not sure if thats good or bad! At least y'all talk back, not like books when i was a kid!
