Don't worry, it's not a drama journal, but more of a explanation why I like hugs so much ^^

So, a few folks ask me a lot "Why I like commissioning hug pictures so much?" Some assume that it's just a fetish, but actually, it's not :P

You see, growing up I was hugged a lot from my parents. Growing up for me though any other time, from elementary school, to high school was kind of like a "Man, why not make my life more challenging why don't you >.>"

When I was in 4th grade, I had one of the worst teachers ever, name was Ms. Green. I always had a hard time learning things, since i was academically challenged. My mom told Ms. Green about my disability, but atlas, she didn't listen and always brought me down about not getting something right. And right in front of everyone to.....cool huh?....One time, whoever didn't pass a test had to stay inside the classroom while the others got the rest of the day at reccess. Course with me and Ms. Green being the same room, I didn't understood what happened, so I cried a lot. And she would point and tell me stop crying, only wimps cry.

The last straw was when I asked to go to the bathroom during a test, she let me go, I came back, and the first thing I hear was "Call your mom right now!". I didn't know what happened, until she said I was cheating on a test and I have to tell my mom what I did. I was in the freaking bathroom, why would you do that to me? So, I called my mom, she knew something was up, so she came to my school after class, talked to the principle about what happened. And the logical solution was to be home schooled the rest of the year, since i couldn't change teachers.

At that time, I felt like I did something wrong, so i cried waiting outside the office. When my mom came out, she knelt down and gave me a hug, telling me how much she loved me and how she was proud of me.

And ever since then, growing up, whenever I had to go to the hospital for surgery, seizure related issues, or having the school tell me i wouldn't graduate high school due to me not being able to pass the Standardize Testings, my mom and dad, were there, holding and hugging me, telling me that they love me and that I meant so much to them.

One night before i left for bed, I remember my dad told me "People nowaday go through so much stress, whether it's from family issues, school issues, mental issues, or so on and so on. So if you see someone alone, or scared, or crying, you hug them, comfort them, and tell them that you're worth so much".

And to this day, I still keep those words to heart. Thanks to my parents, I passed high school, graduated college, made so many friends, done so many amazing things I've never thought I would do, and better yet, proved the teachers who thought I wouldn't get far in life, that I did it. I beat them.

So yeah, hopefully that would explain a bit better on why I like hugging others so much. Because I love every single one of you, and you mean so much to me. You have no idea <3
