Either people take life situations too seriously or I take them too lightly. Either everyone is too miserable or I am catching everyone on a bad day. I know today is Monday and it's usually everyone's least favorite day of the week, but it's not just today that I am noticing this. I am still going to use today for examples fresh in my memory. In my biology lab, we went outside for a nice nature walk or at least I thought it was. The sun was shining and the weather was sweet. We're following our T.A. who, I'll admit, is really hard to understand, but everyone kept throwing out negative comments about how no one could hear her and no one knew what to do. I really wanted to tell everyone to hush hush and stop stressing because everything we needed to do was already set up in class. Instead, I tried throwing out a light, sarcastic, but funny, "hey guys, it's all about the learning experience duhh". Only one girl laughed with me while everyone else glared. The laugh's on them though because while they're miserable, I'm enjoying every minute. As we were walking, the biggest jerk in the class thought he would be cool by hitting one of the branches of a tree. That idiot. A big cloud of pollen fell on him. I laughed so hard.
As I was walking back from lab, I saw this old guy in a white pick-up truck dancing to Shakira's Loca. Either people were trying to avoid eye contact or just thought he was weird because no one was laughing. It totally brightened up my day and I giggled as I walked by.
My point is, everyone is caught up in joining the majority of the miserable, negative people. Everyone should lighten up and laugh more often. It will make you feel better. The more positive you think (whether you believe it or not), the better you will feel. I say this from experience. It may seem like I'm laughing at people, but I'm trying to laugh WITH people. I mean, I know when it's appropriate to laugh so as to not make people feel bad, but a lot of the time it's okay to laugh with people. Shoot, I laugh at myself all of the time.
Call me crazy, but I really feel that laughing, or even smiling is good for the soul. So join me in my crazy state of mind and enjoy everything in life.
"Life is, but a joke and the laugh's on you. That's funny, right?"
