make 'em laugh

Some of my most favorite people are the people that can make me laugh.  I had a conference call last night (that was a little boring), so we were entertaining ourselves on facebook.  We had a short conversation about something totally absurd, but it was enjoyable.  I also love reading the stupid comments that some of my friends make that honestly make me laugh out loud.  The thing I find most entertaining is that you would think that my friends that I have these conversations with are my friends that are still in college… nope.  Two of my amusing friends are in their forties with very successful careers, they just love to be goofy and laugh.

I think that because these people love to laugh and be random that they are younger that they actually are.  What are you doing in your life that is making you younger or older?  I love the color pink, I love to laugh, and I love to wear girly dresses; and I did this in a corporate setting.  What I found that my superiors thought that I was immature and not capable of being successful because of these reasons.  It didn’t matter that I had higher numbers that my “more professional” co-workers, or that I was more efficient than them; I was “too young and immature” to be really good at my job.  So I left that company.

I could have kept a job that I didn’t really like and conformed to the way our society thinks adults should act, but instead I embraced my inner kid and left; and I haven’t looked back.  I have started to surround myself with people who make me laugh and make me feel young.  My sister and I regularly have dance parties while shopping and have been known to break into song… in public.  I wake up every morning and check my friend’s facebook pages to see what ridiculous thing they have found and posted, or just used their unique view on life to make me smile.

It is a known fact that adults don’t laugh enough, thus they die. (You can laugh at that).  I don’t plan on being an adult who doesn’t laugh.  I am doing everything in my control to make sure that I laugh and stay young forever.  Am I growing up in the process, sure; but you age doesn’t determine how old you are, they way you think and live does.  I challenge you to find a few things to laugh at today.  Take time to do so, you will feel so much better.   Life is funny, take a look around and enjoy it
