Hugs Required

So tonight marks the first proper emotional wobble! 

Been having really good days this week, being back in work, looking at training programmes and generally just being happy. Then tonight has hit. My life is changing, my body is going to change, and the way people view me has already changed. And no idea what even really set me off... But the tears started rolling this evening! 

I was talking to an old friend who's due to be deployed in the navy next month. And a message of his really touched me this evening.... just want to give you a hug and tell you I'm here for you no matter what..... Not huge, nothing extravagant, but meant. I haven't seen him for easily a year and a half, but the promise of a hug and a good laugh or cry when needed was just what I needed.

Tonight has made me realise how little we value certain things in life. Yea I would love someone to treat me well and would love to be successful in all that I do etc etc. But seriously?! There's so many other things in life! And I don't care how cliche that sounds. Sometimes all you need is a hug (or the thought of one!!) 

So, it's time to put the smile back on my face, no more tears and kick ass again!! This has been a minor (probably much needed!) blip tonight! And in the morning normality will resume!! After a 2am munch on Muller corners obviously!! 

So for now, hugs are muchly needed/ wanted/ appreciated right now.... Whether you know me well or not... Everyone loves a good hug :) !!
