      • Pet an animal friend, or a friend’s animal, or a friend. Probably ask the friend first, or maybe don’t.
      • Don’t be afraid to hug your mom/kid/cousin/friend.
      • If animals and friends elude you, find a stuffed animal/monster/alien/person that will let you cuddle if for no other reason than because it has no choice.
      • Watch cartoons or sitcoms or romcoms, and deliver some good feels into your brain.
      • Look for eyebleach (not literally bleaching your eyes!), and try to put the terrible thing behind you.

      Good luck!

      Engage in something else, something fun maybe. A good movie could fix a lot of things, if that doesn’t help time is the cure for everything.
