God gives his hardest battles (living abroad from family and friends/long distance relationship with beloved) to his strongest soldiers (me, someone so addicted to physical touch. Unable to bite my sister, warm my feet under my moms butt, go squish into the one person couch that my dad is sitting so i can hug his tummy, hug my friend at night while talking about love spending the night in her house, listen to my friend complain about how dry my hands are while she takes the lotion and puts it on top of my hand herself, friend giving you a haircut, that victorious feeling when the friend that doesnt like physical touch gives you a hug, snuggling with best friend (now girlfriend) under the stars, holding hands and rubbing their legs and kissing girlfriend, feeling my cats purring on my chest and headbutts to my face. Life is cruel and i do not know how to continue without exploding)
