# Cuddling
I want a to cuddle more. #Unfinished
?Maybe I want a dog or more cats?
## Cuddling with friends
- Has been enjoyable
- Definitely easier when tripping
- I have found it awkward to ask friends if they want to cuddle
- I think this is because I know that the dominant narrative around cuddling is that it is something done in romantic relationships.
- Certainly don't want to make friends feel awkward, thinking I might stop asking and seek it other places
