About This Quote

When you are feeling alone and hopeless, the best thing to do is to laugh at yourself. Our bodies react to laughter by releasing endorphins that make us feel happy, like we're having fun. So, when you're feeling really down, the best thing to do is to start laughing. The problem is that sometimes, you can't find the balance between the bright colors of humor and the serious issues of identity, self-loathing, and the possibility for intimacy and love when it seems no longer possible or, sadder yet, no longer necessary.
