Laughter Really is the Best Medicine

I don't mean initially. In those first days after a break-up or whatever else might make you want to sit in the dark and bawl your eyes out for hours, laughter is about the last thing on your mind and that's okay. But gradually there is room for it again, as there should be.

I love to laugh, and I don't always mean AT people, despite what BFF and Macadamia might tell you. But really, truly, make me laugh and I'll love you forever. Is there really a better feeling than laughing so hard that you think your sides are going to split, tears in your eyes, gasping for air? I honestly don't think so, because all people really want out of life is to be happy, and laughter helps make that happen - even if it is just for a short time. It's not that you are fighting the sadness or trying to push it away, because ignoring it will only make it stronger. It's just about taking baby steps to get back to normal, and I really believe that laughter helps that. Not laughter alone of course, there are far more components that go into it than that, but it works for me.

So, regardless of what stage you're at, whether it's the eating-ice-cream-for-lunch-in-pajamas stage or the I-finally-opened-the-blinds-and-looked-outside-today stage, I guarantee a laugh from this site to at least get you started:
