Life is better when you’re laughing.
Lily Francis 3 years ago (edited)
Always laugh! No matter what's going or how bad it is because laughing releases endorphins and they relieve pain and make you feel happy, regardless of what's going on. It doesn't last forever so just keep laughing because it's definitely better than crying although that can be a release as well. But laughing is more fun.
