I am a very touchy-feely person. I love hugging and cuddling and holding hands with my friends. It feels so nice to know they love me enough to let me do it.

But apparently, that's only reserved for couples. Which is bullshit.

The other day, my friend was late to the bus, and I had to stop some girl from taking her seat. When she asked why, I told her I was planning to cuddle my friend on the bus ride, and that it'd be hard to do with her being in another seat. She looked at her friend and just burst out laughing. It makes zero sense to me.

Why can't friends hold hands? Why can't they hug? Why can't they tell eachother that they love them? Why is love so taboo in friendships? It's fucking stupid. It makes me mad that people judge me for loving my friends so dearly. As if it's wrong.

Because it isn't.

My friends deserve so much love, and of they aren't gonna get it from others, then they'll get it from me. No matter what anybody else says about it.
