May 03 • Laugh at Me

Day 298 I need laughter as surely as I need love. Right or wrong, I believe that.

I need to be able to laugh at myself; yes, even now.

I need people who can laugh at me, whether it's to bond and share a moment or to call bullshit on some stupid thing I've said or done; I need this.

But it is so often impossible to give others that space and that permission, and I miss laughter most when it is replaced by pity and sorrow.

I am laughable. Seriously. –JR
