Hold Me

So many people think the solution to dealing with internal demons is direct action. Sometimes, a simple hug is all that is needed. A hug tells a person we care about them—no words, no grand gestures, just a soft connection that far exceeds any words. The hug. The touch. These simple gestures take little effort but can mean the world to those who are hurting. They show that you are there for them and that you care.
