It takes a while. I'll finish eventually


Does anyone remember laughter? Robert Plant. I remember laughter as a way of salvation from the moments clouded by  anger and sadness. It’s the feeling of joy that elevates our spirit to the highest. When laughing all there is too feel is free, forgetting everything ,but the source providing our laughter. It's a merit for escapism, a momentary release from the burdens of daily life . We can forget when we laugh, but we'll always remember laughter. In the days of my youth with my sister ,the looks we'd give each other were enough to send us into these uncontrollable fits of laughter. We'd shake so hard we'd fall to the floor, looking goofy with our teeth exposed, feeling giddy to the fullest. Merging from the state of laughter we felt lighter than air. Infused with joy, I'd look to my sister and ask why are laughing so much? It didn't matter, she'd didn't need to answer. The joy in what we'd experience was just fine all it's own, and we'd continue with our lives as so. Though the escape of laughter always awaits a return.  When I was wounded from the ailments of life all it would take was laughter to ease my pain, yes the pain would still be there, reality is there’s no running from it the. Just allowing it not to overcome us. As with most, every hero has their vice laughter is no different. Something that sparks positive emotions can just as easily bring back the damned of emotions hate, pity, self loathing.  Laughter can then transform into its most destructive form unleashing it's wrath against it's victim . Torment by laughter is a common occurrence. What is used to destroy is brought back, vex. That's the Cycle of laughter. Savior Destroyer, Redeemer.

  1. I enjoy your quote very much because nowadays some people do not remember what laughter is. It helps people forget about all of the difficult situations in life and just smile. Sometimes the clearest memories are the ones that make us laugh, not the difficult ones. I can tell by your writing that you never forget to laugh and always crack a smile.
