Laugh hard

Think of someone that is close to you and imagine their true laugh, one they really mean. I hope that anyone reading this can hear the laugh or at the very least, know that they do laugh truly, and often. I can imagine many of my friends and family laughing this way, but one. This one friend feels that if they laugh (truly) or say anything that isn't profound, it is not worth saying at all. (anyone reading this don't worry, it's not you). I wish I could tell them why laughing and being spunky is okay, and that everyone should be that way (particularly while they are in High School- and still a kid). So here I go, this is why we should have fun:

1) You are happier-- compared to children, adults never laugh! When you look at a child and an adult, the child (for the most part) looks happier. And I personally know I'm always happier when I laugh and am spunky.

2) You are depressing to those around you when you aren't-- when someone is always being serious and never laughs they make me depressed and it is hard to be around them sometimes because I feel so heavy and weighed down with their outlook on life.

3) You see the good in things-- when you just take life as it comes but laugh along the way you will see the good because you know happiness is always a possibility. The trials will come but you'll be able to see the things you can do for the best and they will be so much more bearable.

4) Others want to be around you-- I know friends that laugh make me happy too, and I want to stay by them because it feels so great to be happy and loving.

5) It gives life a spice-- When you laugh you can often times become happier and you do things that are just funny.

6) It creates good memories-- when you are laughing and being silly (adding the spice) the things you do become funny and everytime you, as friends or whoever you were with, mention them, you all laugh and you become closer.

In short, life is so much more worth living and you see so much good. I do know, though, that some people really just don't like to be this way and if you are one of those, just dismiss all I said above. But I do know, also, some people, like my friend, don't understand the benefits and they would have so much more fun in life if they did.
