I'm the worst hugger and kisser whith those who I don't know well, and have always wondered why many workmates in my country say hello to their peers with a kiss every morning.
I don't mind adopting the habit if I have to but I find it completely phony. Be sure that if I spontenously kiss somebody hello or goodbye at work that is 100% genuine, since it's a practise I avoid as often as I can .
Anyway, since I'm not as cold shoulder as it may appear and do enjoy good hugs from friends and family showing affection, convinced of their theurapetical effects idecided to start collecting hugs and material about them .
A world seen through hugs given and received depicts not only those healing moments we all need, but also the fake ones, the poses human beings adopts striving for adptation to the requirements of a world pretending to be caring.
