Pooja had a habit of hugging and kissing on cheeks in college.
She would do that to Ashcharya. I would run and hug my friends too.
I remember during the mentioned sleepover, krutika was crying.
Sowmya and Voldemort were hugging her.
I joined them and lightly kissed her cheek and said don’t cry.
Lockhart had that habit too. He would kiss my forehead.
I pick up things like this from everyone I meet.
They were friendly gestures.
If there were no preconceived notions about me and all these false narratives and empathy that were passed down.
Then whatever I was doing till now wouldn’t have been questioned or even taken into consideration in a negative way.
My difference and uniqueness wouldn’t have been a problem if it weren’t for Voldemort’s BS.
I was not aware of these passed down information.
Hence I didn’t know the immense bullshit and seed of doubt that was planted in people’s minds about me.
Now that I do know.
I’ve done everything to break it.
….
Also, with my nieces. I do whatever I have seen my sister doing.
I’m good at making them to stop crying.
