humor

"Humor is what binds humans together and makes difficult times just a little less painful; Sometimes you can't help but laugh. "

It doesn’t crash in with the dramatic snowfall that blankets cities in storybooks, nor does it roar with the kind of wind that rattles old windows. Instead, it appears like a soft exhale—cooler evenings, paler mornings, and a hush that settles over the neighborhood long before I’m ready for it. Every year, this hush nudges me toward a ritual I didn’t realize I’d inherited until adulthood: the ritual of the first morning light.
