It's better to Laugh at the World than to cry

"That giggle was so cute, wasn't it?"

"Youve got to try this spot! Its so ticklish!"

"I don't think they know who to beg to. Poor thing."

Trace your finger along my thigh while we lay in bed, place your hand in the dip of my waist while we stand in the kitchen, hold my hand when you see me taking my stress out on my nails, put your hand on my calf when I stretch my legs across your lap, grace the smallest kiss to my hairline just so you can simultaneously smell my shampoo.

It’s when you do so much while doing so little.

Light tapping that may not be horribly ticklish, but definitely teases your spots and gets you in a total lee mood

Super gentle scribbling of fingers and nails across sensitive spots

Fingertips just barely grazing you skin

The tingles and chills they send up your back and across your body

Cute kisses, maybe with playful nibbles and licks as well

The “complete innocence” of a hand just lightly rubbing your body, affectionate and calm but still giving nervous, tingly reactions to those of us who are more sensitive, or more jumpy

Playful little pokes that make you dance

The mixture of sensory heaven and hell, the tickles being perfectly gentle so you love the feeling but can’t stand the tingly feelings left behind

The gentlest of squeezes on your sides and ribs and hips, barely firm enough to feel but definitely enough to tickle like crazy

Laughter, giggles, love, happiness, absolute bliss

It’ll be okay, I promise. Inspired by the delightful wood carvings of Seiji Kawasaki.
