You can laugh at me all you want, I really don't care.

I've been laughed at and bullied my whole life. Anyone and everyone can be disagreed with at any moment. Someone will always think you're an idiot.

It's been a pillar of my life, to support myself while other people, death, loneliness and illness kick me in the back of the knees.

It doesn't matter.

Laugh at me while I strive for harmony, balance and kindness. Laugh at me while I fight endlessly to be a good mom, while I battle illness until I collapse. Laugh at me while I'm down.

Go ahead and laugh at my pain.

We'll laugh at it together.

Because yeah, it's a big effing joke.
