Have you ever needed the darkness....

Just to find the light in life?

It isn't pretty or fun by any means, and can be quite terrifying, but I've learned more about myself and found a greater appreciation for life from times of darkness than any amount of light ever offered.

@WhateverWorks It's unfortunate, but oh so true. I'm glad you can find laughter in it just like myself. Cheers to that.🥂🌟


I spent too many years being bitter instead. It's not like we can change the past nor all of our current problems.😉 May as well grow instead.🌷

I feel this throughout my being lol Humor is definitely my coping mechanism. It’s been brought to my attention on many occasions. Only once did I crack a joke and someone pointed out my deflective humor might possibly be a problematic thing,
to which I replied, “Perhaps, but notice how you’re still laughing?” 😝 @MoonlightLullaby

@WhateverWorks I've had people do me the same way when I turn my many inadequacies into clever little puns to make them laugh. I think laughter is the best coping mechanism ever, and not only that, there are so many things screwed up with my body...why not make fun of them? It sure beats throwing a pity party.😏
...and besides, if you always act like you're pitiful, you'll be judged for that too. Pfft, people.😜
