A tight squeeze

I'm someone who feels terribly inadequate easily whenever a friend's upset. Somehow i'd always have this "i don't know what to do" feeling and i not only just don't know what to do, i usually won't know what to say. Perhaps i'm afraid to say/do the wrong things and make the person feel worse, but i usually just sit ard to offer to listen and hope that my company could be a type of comfort. Then the time came when i was upset. I was sorta "enlightened" yesterday when it suddenly occurred to me that sometimes a hug is the best thing i can offer during such situations. Think abt it, isn't it amazing how there's something in a simple hug that always warms the heart?
A hug's a way to share joy and sad times we go though, or
A hug could be just a way for friends to say they like you 'cos you're you.
A hug is a perfect way to show the love we're feeling, but can't find the words to say.
A hug can make everyone feel good almost instantaneously.
Hmm.. the more amazing thing is, in every place, no matter the language spoken, it's always understood :)
Actually..the thought of hugs being something so universal itself makes me feel happy already. Haha, of course i hope i can find some way to thank those who have been ard when i needed a hug most :) Well, maybe a *Hug* is good huh? :)
