life’s a joke, might as well laugh

I’ve been through some interesting times. In the time I’ve been alive I’ve noticed one thing, when things get stressful might as well laugh. Anything can be a joke if you want it to be. Like that one time my grandma got blockaded in her falling apart house after one of many hurricanes. She was declared missing until found days later hacking through some trees to go to the supermarket because she NEEDS HER COFFEE. After sweet relief flooded in knowing she was safe, The humor of the whole thing set in. Everyone worried constantly over nothing but here we have an old lady who refuses to be limited by her situation. She wanted some damn coffee and she got it. Even told the story laughing over the phone. We get so caught up in our current situation we forgot to stop and see the humor in situations. We’re all alive for yet another day. I mean...looking back on days I thought we’re terrible I find the funny in it now. Like that one time I was a kid and trapped in the middle of the ocean with my parents in a sinking metal boat during a thunderstorm with no sight of land. This happened twice. At the time it was terrifying. But looking back, it was so absolutely idiotic we were even in that situation it’s funny. Laugh at EVERYTHING. In the face of danger, in sadness, in the good times, just laugh. Make a joke of the situation. It’ll make it easier for yourself and everyone you’re with.
