people make me laugh

being uncomfortable has nothing to do with the people in a room, a public place, or any other open situation, and yet it has everything to do with them. everyone included.
being uncomfortable is an emotion elicited out of the fear of failure, the fear of fitting in, the fear of personal judgment or acceptance. each person in his or her respective way experiences this phenomenon to some degree, whether they announce it or not.

so being uncomfortable really isn't anyone elses issue except your own. to transcend that awkward feeling, one has to look deeply inside and recognize that each surrounding individual is probably equally or more so uncomfortable, nervous, dealing with some issue or another in their own way. thus we should all free ourselves from this stress and laugh, sharing our iniquities, our quirks, our fears and our experiments. yes?

people make me laugh for so many reasons. what they think they can get away with. how they treat other people. the silly ways that we eat, sleep, move, speak, dress, undress, fidget, breath, express, play, and engage. its beautiful. we humans love to move together. we collect in public places like coffee houses, business spaces, pubs, parks, community centers. we drive silly little cars and have some grandiose sense of our higher existence here on earth, when in reality we function very similarly to ants.
animals. butterflies. we build things. we inhabit places. we try to get close to people and we return to the same places over and over again. we try to escape people and we return to the same places over and over again.

we're all so perfectly different and so perfectly the same. its quite ridiculous. so our being uncomfortable must be replaced with our being curious. our being creative. our being givers of ourselves and gigglers with others. somehow we are blessed to inhabit this earth together, to convene in little hubs speckled all over the surface and the crevaces of this planet. we're all doing the same things, in subtly different fashions. we're all god's creatures, big & small, evolving and moving, growing slowly and yet doing very much the same...

look at us. aren't we funny?
