Laughter :D

Now I'm sure that we all have things that we dont really like about ourselves. However, there are also things we do like about ourselves and it is perfectly ok to aknowledge  those things we love. Yes there is a point where constantly talking about what we love about ourselves is annoying, narcissistic, and at times selfish. But I cant personally say that I dont brag about myself pretty much ever but there is certain thing I am thankful about myself and so I want to share one of them today.

What I am thankful about myself today is a personality trait or characteristic about me I guess. See the thing about me is I can laugh at any situation! I mean I can and pretty much do laugh at anything hahaha. Of course it has some "bad" things like wanting to laugh when someone is crying, or when something serious is happening. And yes I know to all my "psychologists" out there I am perfectly aware that this is a defense mechanism when I dont feel like really dealing with an issue or with the "seriousness" of a problem I find a way to laugh about it. I know it's my own way of dealing and at times, not dealing, with things haha but at the same time I love that I can find the humor in just about anything, as well as I have a decent control of time and place as far as there are somethings you just should not laugh about.

But today I'm focusing on the positive part of having this "trait".....I think people don't laugh enough in this life. I laugh at my life all the time!! hahah I believe it is important to laugh at how ridiculous your life can be sometimes. I mean it's a lot better than sitting around crying about it! But the thing is it's not even me "avoiding feeling something" I genuinely think "drama" is soo funny! Now im not a jerk and Im not gonna just joke about someones drama, life, or problems in their face. I wait until they have reached a point where they can look back and laugh about what happened and then I make them laugh by making fun of their situation lol.....Honestly when you have seen the amount of drama, and problems as I have either with my own life or through the lives of people that are close to me, you get a very good perspective of what is a REAL PROBLEM and what is just "silly high school drama" (which does not only happen in high school, that's just what its called lol) So many times even if things feel like "the end of the world" I tend not to stress about it to much. I respect that to others it is a "huge deal" and they don't know what to do, but in my head I can't help but think "c'mon....you gotta admit it's kinda funny!" hahahhahaha

So there's is A LOT more to my personality and the idea that I can laugh at anything kind of goes hand in hand with my sarcasm but if you know me you know that sarcasm is such a big part of who I am that it needs a blog all its own so we'll save that topic haha. But I am thankful that there is something in me, experience, understanding, I really dont know what it is, but there is something in me that allows me to put things in perspective and be able to laugh at hard moments in my life rather than get all upset about them. As well as being able to help others see the "funny" in their own troubles and make themn realize what really is worth getting stressed about and what is not. I love that I can remind people to laugh at themselves.

I also have to add that I LOVE and i am very appreciative of the people around me who understand that I laugh at everything. Even when things are serious, sad, or scary....I laugh but my close friends and family know that it's just how I react sometimes. :)

CHALLENGE: Well first off, don't be afraid to be thankful for the type of person you are. Again there is a line you don't want to cross but it's ok to aknowledge your good attributes hahah. So just think of something about you (preferably not physical lol) that you like about yourself. Maybe it's the complete opposite of mine, and thats cool! I'm not a "cryer" really again I more laugh at things, but maybe you are a "cryer" and that is something to be thankful for as well. The fact that you can allow yourself to get to that emotion I mean there are times where I wish I could cry instead of having to hide my mouth cause the laughter is about to burst out! I know people that love that they can cry. So it can be anything!
