Laugh All Day, Erryday

What’s up, everybody!

If you’ve been following my Instagram then you know that I’m at The World Famous Comedy Store a few times a week.

With that said, being at the Comedy Store has become one of my favorite places to be at. Even though every time I go I’m working on a project, I feel relaxed, happy, and all my worries seem to fade away.

HOW IS THAT SO?

It’s all because of the power of laughter!

Everywhere I turn I see people laughing, I hear jokes being told, all while I’m laughing my face off from my own conversations with my friends.

Here’s a quick read about the power of laughter, enjoy!
