When talking about friendship, I used to think that loyalty was the most important element. And while it is still a mandatory trait that I require from all those who are close to me, I think there is one more trait to go on that must-have list... the ability to make another person laugh.
I believe that when a person laughs they are in their truest self. And I am not talking about fake laughing or courtesy laughing. Heck no! I am talking about the kind of laughing that leaves your sides aching, your cheeks fatigued, and your soul replenished. A laugh like that can change a grumpy day into a fabulous one.
A true friend is someone who can make you laugh whether you are having a good day or the crappiest of days. And the best part of it is that you don't have to be the wittiest or have the best joke. No, it can be as simple as reminiscing over a long-ago memory, watching a funny movie, or my all time favorite - perfecting the not-on-purpose-clutzy-move (I am king in that arena).
We all have those kind of friends... the ones that can make you laugh like no other. Where every time you see them, you usually end up giggling about something. Those are the people that I want in my life. And that is the friend that I strive to be for my loved ones. For laughter can take the sting out of a broken heart, a lay-off, a fussy baby, or a rainy day. It may not cure the ailment in that exact moment, but it will for sure aid the healing process.
Who doesn't need more laughter in their life? I sure do. I thrive on it. I feel most like myself when I am laughing. And laughing just feels so damn good!
So on that note, I am off to find my laugh for the day. Which friend should I call first?
