Valentine’s Day made me happy this week, the holiday is all about sharing love whether that be with yourself or others (family, friends, pets, partners, strangers). This holiday also contains my favorite color; pink hence my username.  I was happy to discover this news about the benefits of hugs on your mental health because my love language has always been physical touch.

Also, I found a video surrounding the same topic from two years ago that still holds up in 2024, even though this video talks about how COVID changed people’s way of showing affection – with the fist bump or elbow touch.
