“I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.”
― Audrey Hepburn
Thank you, Spidey. I’m definitely an advocate for smiles!
You know, I’m aware that laughter, smiles and giggles aren’t going to cure this pandemic, but I tell you what, during this time of self-isolation, social distancing and quarantine, a good old belly laugh sure helps get through.
I’ve been trying to read books that are light-hearted. If they are an arc I requested, that are a bit heavy, I’ve found them hard to get into. But a good old Rom Com or a bit of humour has been very well received.
I’ve definitely been clicking on and reading more posts via the blog and other social media platforms that are more likely to make me smile.
I’ve watched films that are high in comedic factor, or old, nostalgic films have been getting a revisit. Things I know will leave me with a smile on my face.
And… I discovered TikTok.
A very dangerous app in my hands!
I’ve been aware of it for a long while, impossible to avoid, when you have teens, especially in the shape of Lil Princess, who is always doing funny little snippets of dances. It took a while, but I realised she and her friends all learn the moves to these snippets of songs, and the choreography originates from these mini clips.
Now TikTok isn’t just all dance. People use the medium and it’s various effects to create little video clips that can be really funny.
So… after a long time, I decided I would download it to see what the fuss was about. I haven’t created a public profile, as I don’t think I could cope with ANOTHER platform to manage, but we’ve been recording really silly videos.
Of course, you know, I don’t post my children at all, but I did manage to make some silly skit style videos, that feature just me… and posted them on my Instagram.
So… did you want a giggle?
Oh, okay then (yes, I know you didn’t need to twist too hard!), here’s one…
Funny enough? Okay, another…
So… tell me, what have you found, to make you laugh or smile during the pandemic?
Have a peaceful Sunday, Peeps. And enjoy your week! ❤
But I Smile Anyway...
