It's a cliche... but often things become cliches precisely because they're true: sometimes laughing is the only way to keep from crying.

And I'm tired of crying, and of thinking about things that make me want to cry, so I'm going to go find a comedy on Netflix and watch it now.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Sweet dreams Steemit 💜

Laughter is good for the soul.

I know that you are not a senior, but maybe you can laugh with us anyway

That was hysterical Marianne! Was that you leading the class? It reminds me of a game we used to play when we were kids. One person lies down on the grass. Another person lies down with their head on the first person's belly. The third one lies down with their head on the second one's belly, and so on. Then you just lie there until somebody starts laughing. But as soon as one person starts laughing, it bumps the next person's head up and down, because their head is on the laughing person's stomach. Pretty soon everybody in the chain is laughing uncontrollably 😄

yes, it was me leading the class - and I do that game in some of my groups as well - not with the seniors 😉

Oh that's wonderful...I always thought that was such an ingenious and funny game. But ofc not with the seniors :)! Your class looks like so much fun <3

it was a lot of fun. I am not teaching that particular group anymore but just did a party yesterday with a group of women who mostly are from Bangladesh. I love that it is something just about anyone can relate to and do 😄

Are you alright?

Not really. But yes in the sense that I'm working through it. Sometimes people seem to have the power to turn me against myself and betray who I really am in favor of who they want me to be. They don't really, but it seems that way. So I have some internal work to do to stand up for myself...not to them, because there's no receptivity there at the moment, and really no need anyway, but with myself. Thank you for asking @honeydue!
