Holding hands may seem like an innocent gesture, but they show more than a simple interlocking of fingers. Your hands are one of the most essential parts of your body: you build with them, feed with them, hold with them, touch with them, fight with them; they are the tools of the human body. To take a hold of another’s hand is to break from living individually. It is to link yourself to another being, to momentarily entwine your life with another’s, to promise, for a moment, that you need not face the world alone. More simple, more aesthetically naive than other forms of affection, i.e kissing, hugging, sexing.., the act of holding hands is often trivialized in its true implications.

i always wonder what people are going through in life, what has happened, who died, what they do after school, who they talk to. and it really surprises me when the happiest person you know turns out to have depression. people are so good at covering up stuff. so the next time someone who says they are ok, really think about how they are really feeling.
