If you don't laugh, you cry.

Over the past few weeks I've had a lot of bad crappy things happen to me, for example, I'm down a car, a few friends, stressed to the nines with college and planning the rest of my life (Doesn't seem bad and crappy, the health side to it is.) and it's getting really difficult to stay positive about life in general. 

There's one thing my aunt has always said, and it's something I'll probably carry with me for the rest of my life; "If you don't laugh about it, you'll just cry". 

I've found myself repeating this over and over again in my head when things begin to feel to tough. Like after the car accident, being stuck in A&E for a few hours wasn't the way I had hoped to spend that evening, and the thought that we wouldn't be going home, or anywhere again, in our car was heartbreaking (I know, I know, it's only a car). But that one little saying, said at intervals by both of us (my aunt and I) somehow helped us get through it. Along with "Everything happens for a reason" and another one of her favourites "God has a plan for everyone/everything". 

I guess what I'm trying to say here is, even when the going seems insanely tough, and you feel like giving up and going no further, try and stay positive. Think about something good that will come out of all of this (For me, it's a new car (still sad about losing the old one mind!), a college degree (something that was unthinkable over 4 years ago) and the chance to start my own life) and it will help pull you through. And if that fails, just laugh about it. In my books, laughing outweighs crying any day.
