When All Else Fails, Laugh

When All Else Fails, Laugh

You ever notice how life waits until you’re feeling really confident to just… wreck you?
Like, you wake up one morning thinking, “I’m unstoppable!”
And life goes, “Bet.”

Suddenly, your coffee spills, your car won’t start, and you’re giving a PowerPoint presentation titled ‘FinalVersion2_REALthisTime.pptx’ — and the first slide is your grocery list.

You know what I’ve learned? When all else fails — laugh.
Because honestly, what else can you do? Crying’s great until you realize you’re in public and people start handing you tissues like you’re starring in a Hallmark movie.

Laughter’s powerful though. It’s basically the body’s emergency reboot button.
When something goes wrong, you laugh — not because it’s funny yet, but because your brain’s like, “Welp, this is above my pay grade.”

I once tried to fix a leaky faucet.
Three hours later, my kitchen was Niagara Falls and I was Googling, “Can you drown standing up?”
At some point, you just have to laugh. Otherwise, you’ll throw the wrench — and then you’ll have two problems.

You ever have one of those days where everything goes wrong in sequence?
It’s like life’s playing Jenga with your sanity.
You lose your keys, stub your toe, drop your phone — and then your phone lands face down.
That one second before you flip it over is pure horror. You’re suddenly praying like you’ve found religion.
Then you see the screen’s fine — and you’re like, “See? Laughter and Jesus work.”

I think laughter is God’s way of saying, “Yeah, that was dumb, but at least it was funny.”
It’s like when your friend trips but doesn’t get hurt — you laugh first, then ask if they’re okay.
That’s love. That’s humanity. That’s comedy with ethics.

Because let’s be honest — life doesn’t always give you good material.
Sometimes you bomb, sometimes you forget your line, sometimes you spill soup on your pants before a date.
But if you can laugh about it, you’re still winning.
If not… you’re just wearing hot soup pants and pretending they’re “fashionably damp.”

So yeah, when all else fails — laugh.
Laugh at the mess, laugh at the madness, laugh at yourself.
Because the truth is, you can’t control what happens — but you can control whether it ruins your mood or becomes your next great story.

And honestly, if you can find the punchline in your own disaster… you’re already funnier than life itself.
