Btw you have every right to call me out as a friend if you don't feel loved or cared for by me, it's not entitlement, I owe it to you, that's what I signed up for when we started our friendship.
If you want to understand the true warmth of Mexico, just look at their vocabulary.
Apapachar
It originates from the indigenous Nahuatl language and means to embrace with the soul. It is not just giving someone a hug. It is the deep, intentional act of making someone feel comforted and cared for.
On your birthday, people here do not just wish you a good day. They tell you to let yourself be completely apapachado, surrounded by love and warmth.
A society that creates a word for hugging with the soul is a culture that truly values human connection.
