Let’s go behind that rock, I am a little boulder

I plan to live life, amongst other awesome things about which I will someday be able to tell stories that no one will ever believe. I have a passionate love for Lord of the Rings, Starwars, Chemistry and Geology. So please, expect posts on these subjects and ofcourse other random shenanigans. Fun fact! I study geology at the University of Portsmouth in the UK.

Is there a word for that safe/comfortable feeling you get from a good hug?

Cwtch /kʊtʃ/ is a Welsh word for a hug, cuddle or snuggle. But more than that, there is an element of intimacy, earnestness and ownership in cwtch that the closest English equivalents "hug", "cuddle" and "snuggle" lack. A cwtch creates a private safe place in a room or in two peoples hearts. It is a strong affection made manifest and can apply to lovers, friends, or a parent and child. Cwtch is snuggling and cuddling and loving and protecting and safeguarding and claiming, all rolled into one.

Cwtch is the feeling of a safe place or home that the hug, cuddle or snuggle gives. If you give someone a cwtch, you’re giving them a “safe place”.

People.

Some are so rude that I feel I never want to speak to them again whilst others leave me in the biggest dilemma since UCAS :/
