Find someone who makes your cheeks hurt. Someone who will not allow you to frown. That is the kind of person you should want to be around. 

This blog is titled Just Start Laughing (Because You Can) for a reason. When k first titles this blog, the only reason I named it Just Start Laughing is because it fit with the initials of my name. After I started blogging, and found that I really enjoyed it, it took on a new meaning. 

Laughing is something that I believe everyone should do more than they think is necessary, and even more than what is appropriate at some times. Because laughter is something pure. It is the best antidote for turning your days around. If someone makes you laugh while you are sitting there sobbing, you instantly stop crying and revert to sniffling, which is not quite as bad. 

However, when those bad days occur, the hardest part is allowing yourself to laugh. When people are in bad moods we tend to become very stubborn. We do not allow ourselves to be happy for some reason. Things happen and the tunnel you are walking through seems to be getting darker rather than lighter, and sometimes seems as though it is never-ending, but there are some people who can change that for you. These people are the lights along the path, who give you hope that the end is near. Finding someone who can one, put up with you while you slug your way through the tunnel, and two want to go out of their way to make you smile are the best kind of people. You are going to doubt yourself. There are many out there who claim to want the best for you but quickly show you their actual intentions. I am telling you that good people are out there, I promise. These people are extremely hard to find though, so when you find someone who can make you just start laughing, hold on to them. These people are the ones who make high school worth it.
