I think about that quote often:
There is a thin line that separates laughter and pain. 🎭
Oh, how true that is.
Sometimes the line is so thin it’s transparent.

When Life Doesn’t Go as Planned… and Then Makes You Laugh Anyway😂😭

I love to laugh. But sometimes life isn’t always a romcom.

The holiday gathering where the drama is thick enough to slice with a butter knife — until someone says something so ridiculous you can’t help but snort. 🎄😅
The heartbreak that loosens its grip just enough for humor to peek in and remind you that joy is still possible. 💔➡️💛
Laughter doesn’t erase the pain, but it softens its edges. It makes the burden a little lighter. It gives us oxygen when life feels suffocating. 🌬️❤️
