Laugh

Been such a while since I last posted... only a few days, yet a long time for me. ~ I′ve met so many wonderful new people, done so many cool things, yet I know that this is only the beginning of what′s in store for me. ~ It gets lonely sometimes, being alone even among friends, silent to joy, dull to brightness. ~ But, as usual, life goes on, I adapt, things get better. ~
Ups and downs. It′s cliché, but life really is a roller coaster of emotions. Simply enjoying the ups and picking yourself up after a down is the way to go. ~ Then again, no downs means no ups, because a high can only be judged in comparison to a low. Bitterness and sadness sprinkled with joy is what adds colour to our lives. ~
Lame jokes. Once a joke attains a certain level of lameness, it actually crosses over into the realm of grudgingly funny jokes. You can′t help laughing at the sheer nerdiness of the person who′s telling the joke, while secretly agreeing that sometimes, lameness makes up for humour. ~ Indeed, laughing at a lame joke is more of a way of acknowledging the other′s desperate attempt to break tension. It′s kind of impressive, in a way, to put yourself out there at the mercy of judgment of another, just to reach out an invitation of friendship. I admire all of you. ~ Go ahead, make a lame joke today. I know I′ve certainly heard my share of really pitiful ones today already, and secretly, on the inside... I did laugh. ~
