I read an article last week - something about how to be happy - and I remember that the formatting was exceptionally annoying and it was peppered with ads for other articles on that website, but content-wise, toward the end there was something about touch and hugging loved ones. It cited a study where people were people who texted friends/family versus spoke to them on the phone were compared for happiness hormones, and the ones who texted received no perceivable benefit. I feel that acutely in my mood swings of anger/rage/sadness today!
I am so mad and sad and self-righteous and it's digging up my feelings of being wasted here and aughaughaugh. Maybe I just want a hug. Someday my emotions will be appropriate and under my control, right??
While I was writing this, my very good boyfriend called to see if I was okay and I feel so good that I almost want to cry because I'm happy now.
