Blu in Atlanta, 2019 One of the many advantages of being short is when I hug people, my ear tends to align with their chests, and I get to relish in listening to people's heartbeats. I've heard thousands of momentums and lived experiences encompassed in one to two minutes. I miss hugging my family and friends. It may be a long time until we are comfortably able to, but I will look back on the images of the people I enjoy hugging the most for now.
