That being said, there's a little scripture that states "every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses," and I apply that baby all over the place. If I'm researching anything on the internet, I need a couple different sources to back up my findings. If my doctor were to give me any kind of negative report, I'd most definitely seek a second or third opinion, and if more than one person makes a similar comment about yours truly, I start to accept its validity.
Which brings me to the whole point of this post: my laugh.
My Expectation

My Reality
Okay, it's not really that bad. Maybe more like this:
I'll have to get somebody to take a candid picture for a more accurate representation, but that gif of Brit Brit is pretty spot on. Mouth wide open & all.
I briefly mentioned this yesterday, but until about a year ago, I never realized how outrageously over-the-top my unfiltered laugh can be. Not those flirty giggles brought on when something is mildly funny. Noooooooo. I'm talking favorite sit-com, viral video, chuck milk through your nose in elementary school hilarious. [For the record, the only bodily fluid my laugh has ever made me lose control of is pee, but I mean... if you've never peed just a teenie tiny bit from laughing so hard, you've never experienced true comedy.]
So yeah, I'm sitting around with some friends one day, chatting, playing cards, eating, all that good stuff, and we're all having a pretty good time. It's nothing out of the ordinary... or so I thought. A few days later, these friends explain how my laugh darn near scared one of the guys we were hanging with that day. It's also worth mentioning that this man was a solid member of the US Navy.
MY LAUGH SCARED A MILITARY MAN.
And that is something someone told me about myself that I'll never forget - how could I?
These days I'm in control of it, especially in public. I only let loose with close friends and family, and thankfully, they've learned to accept it. I hope.
Over & out.

Hi Disa,
ReplyDeleteI got so entertained with your thoughts.Its true..we cant please everyone so why bother tryin to please them anyway.Your principle is a head on and I like it.Im your newest follower.
Thanks so much!
DeleteNew reader! Your blog is nice, very refreshing & well - honest. (If that's the right word lol). I completely agree with you on the laugh thing. I've come to the conclusion that what I thought was a sexy, coy laugh is actually a very weird, loud noise :) That being said, my boyfriend (& his friends) all say that seeing a girl smiling & laughing is very attractive, even if she has a weird laugh - it can be cute.
ReplyDeleteSo yeah I think I've finally accepted my laugh is not sexy, but hopefully it's somewhat awkward & cute haha (:
Btw always happy to find another atlanta blogger! Followed!
