At the same time, they are the sort of things that you can't help but laugh about.
The sighs:
- Playing with your mechanical pencil, and the little clasp on the side breaks off. Most people go and get a new pencil.
- An unintentional or intentional flat tire. It's a pain in the ass to put your shoe back on.
- You're finally in bed, almost asleep, and you remember something you need to do.
- Cliffhangers. It would be better just to know how it ends now, not next week or in the sequel that's not even out yet.
- Driving down the isle and you think you see an empty parking spot, but actually, it's not.
The head shakes
- Walk into a room and forgetting all together why you walked in there. Walk out, and you remember why.
- Thinking something, saying it aloud, and it ends up being misconstrued; you try and fix it, but you only make it worse.
- Sometimes people let their butt crack hang out of their jeans; I wonder how they don't realize it.
- When that one person cracks a racist or religious joke, unaware there is a person of that race or religion in the room.
- Ever been so embarrassed/mad/shocked you are utterly speechless? Usually that's followed with a few head shakes.
The laughter
- When people fall, sorry, but that's just funny.
- Sitting in the middle of class and remembering that one time.. As you laugh to yourself, you get a room full of weird looks.
- Red light, the person next to you is rockin' out.
- Over hearing the wrong part of a conversation, say no more.
- Awkward moments are hands down the best, especially with intention to do so.
I've come to realize lately we just need to shake things off, let them go and move on.
Karma gets everyone at some point or another. Let others make their own mistakes, shake your head and laugh, anxiously awaiting the day we can say, "I told you so."
Quit panicking when things are skewed, they are supposed to be that way.
People do stupid things. We laugh at others, so in return we should laugh at ourselves and allow others to laugh at us.
Being mature could be addressing a matter, but I think from now on, It's like the Beatles said, "Let it be".
A person can only fail so many times before they give up. Well, not necessarily give up, but realize it's a waste of time.
A conversation I recently had with a dear friend left me with this:
If someone shuts and locks the door, I'm not going to bother knocking or bother to pic the lock; I'm just going to shrug my shoulders and walk away.
If somebody is so careless to shut you out, what do you owe them but the sight of your backside heading in the opposite direction? Nothing.
A little sigh of contentment, a head shake of "so be it", and a quiet laugh, we learn to just let things go and avoid the accumulation of potential stresses and such.
Eventually we all fall on the stairs and eventually we all have a pencil snap.
Stand up and for heavens sake watch where you're walking next time, and go ahead and grab a new pencil, maybe just don't fidget so much with it.
