LOL
I'm going to pretend like I don't have class at 10 am and its not 3:39 in the morning right now. I'm also going to pretend I'm not currently laying on my stomach with my feet crossed smh... they are not in the air though, so it makes it less weird.
I always been the person who laughs at the WRONG times. Whether it was getting in trouble or when someone is sad/angry, I'm sitting there working my face muscles out trying not to burst out laughing. Ever argue with your significant other and get in MORE trouble because you can't help but to just start laughing?!... well I've been there PLENTY of times and it gets awkward. Ok, maybe I'm the only one who has been through that but whatever I can't help it. When I find myself doing this in the wrong situations theres never any malice behind it. Theres the nervous laugh, the "this is awkward laugh", or other times its actually funny. It seems like something so natural and simple but then I really start thinking deep into this *puts on Twitter philosopher hat* and I realize that there is so much power behind laughing.
Today was a perfect example, I was stressed out and annoyed all day. My mood was all sorts of messed up and I just wasn't myself. Im trying this thing where I am being more positive by not letting certain (negative) emotions take over and cloud my judgements or shhhhmood. The truth is, I am not 100% there yet and reality sometimes just comes with the negative vibes like TOOOOMMMMMAAAA. This was the case today but I was not trying to let the devil get the easy W, so I did what I apparently do best... laugh. There are certain things you just can't control, bad things will happen and thats just life bro. You CAN control how YOU react to those situations though and this is something I am trying to work at. For me, I'm realizing that laughing is one of those things that is helping me handle these situations better. Once you realize the "bad" thing already HAPPENED then why sit there and be upset about it. I can't front though... Im human and I still slip up and fall into that slump where I don't see the positives. The negative just so much more attractive for whatever reason. Its like that greasy slice of pizza thats starring at you while you are trying to diet or that argument you want to start with your lady/man when their snapchat too lit while they out with their friends (DON'T LIE I KNOW YA BEEN THERE) . Those negatives emotions take over from time to time and thats okay because you can CHANGE that. The same way you can choose to be upset, you can choose to look things differently. Theres a lot of ways to do this and I am figuring out that laughing just so happens to be working for me lately.
Once you realize that some things just aren't always so serious and you can learn how to laugh at yourself... it'll become easier. Im still on my journey of better handling "bad" situations but for now this whole laughing thing is working. No you don't have to sit there and LEGIT be laughing hard, its more of just looking at your situation in a lighter sense (NOT sure that made sense but in my head it did so whatever... my bad lol). So I challenge you to try to take things in differently and try not to let the "negatives" take over. While you are at it, go put a smile one someones face today and make them laugh... you never know who needs it juuuheard.
Share this with yo momma, yo fraaands, yo followers, yo cowokers... and holla at me. I would love to hear from all 5 of you that read this lol.
