At first I felt intimidated. Timid ol’ me would be exposing mine own bare loving heart, for others to grab a hold of and cling onto. A free hug is more than just a physical act of kindness, but a spiritual and emotional bond that you form with a random person. We all go through hard times and moments were our despair seems to get the best of us. But then out of no where someone offers you a hug, almost as if given the choice to live. Momento Mori – Remember that you will die – so share the love with everyone and anyone. Some people will be so grateful that you are … you.

How I did it: I went with my best friend, though she was very reluctant. We started giving out hugs at a park near my house, and we shared some cool moments with interesting people.Best Moments: a drunk girl saying to me "ohmigod, you're so good to hug", a foreign man we talked to in English, and a group of people offering us tea and teaching us some yoga positionsWorst Moments: creepy, creeeeeeepy guys trying to flirt us up. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I met up with the leader of "FreeHugsCampaign" in NYC and picked myself up some free hug t-shirts and pins. I wanted to do it legitimately and add my own spin on the works. Each time I spread love in the form of a hug I ask the person to sign my Free Hugs T-shirt with a sharpie. Hold up and sign and you get twice as many people to give you hugs. Its easy and completely FREE! Read how I did it…

I was leaving the Warped Tour.
A friend and I have been thinking seriously about doing this – it sounds so fun and special. :)
My friends and I have done this multiple times and its always really fun to see the peoples reactions. The time at the mall we counted our high and total (4 of us) had 67 hugs. It always is so fun
Im very proud of myself. I have the shirt. I made a sign. Its hard to get free hugs from random people, but its worth it. I think people feel better after they get a random hug. I know i feel better.
This Christmas I’m planing to have a Christmas Party with some friends… Then I realised that it’s the ideal time to go out together and give free hugs to the people of Cologne and/or Bonn. Now I just have to convince my friends ^^
