Healing With A Cuddle Practitioner

Dear Cuddle Practitioner,

I almost didn’t write this. I don’t usually reach out for things like this because I guess… I feel like I don’t deserve comfort. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve hurt people. And I’ve gotten so used to being the strong one that softness just feels foreign. Sometimes, even scary. I don’t know if I belong in a space like this, where gentleness is offered so freely.

— Maybe Not Me

Dear Maybe Not Me,

Thank you for your honesty. You are already so brave for writing what so many carry quietly in their hearts. I want you to hear this: comfort is not a reward—it’s a right. We all fall. We all break in places. And we all deserve the chance to be held while we’re putting ourselves back together.

You don’t have to earn the right to be cared for. You're human. That’s enough. In our space together, I hold no judgment—just warmth, presence, and quiet acceptance. There’s no need to be strong here. You’re allowed to just be.

With tenderness, — Lovely
