Have you ever had an interaction with someone that made you feel instantly connected to them?
For me, it’s the memory of hugging my distant cousin at a funeral. I was so sad I could barely speak and they just held me in a tight hug and told me it was going to be alright.
They had on this giant faux fur coat that was so soft and warm...
The hug lasted no more than a few seconds, but it felt like eternity. It was so peaceful.
I’m not close with my cousin and I haven’t talked to them since, but I think about that interaction a lot and it always makes me feel really connected to them...
