I was waiting in my car outside the store when I heard it. The Laugh. Two ladies were exchanging pleasantries, and as they turned to walk away, one of the ladies laughed.
It is a pleasant, slightly high pitched laugh. Kind of playful, yet flirty at the same time. It is a laugh that speaks volumes,
It can say things like: I have a secret life, but that is not for you to know about, so I will just laugh and keep you guessing.
It is a laugh that says, I am not fine despite what I say to you, so I laugh to try to prove to you that I am okay.
It says, I have no better way to end the conversation, but I really need to go, so I laugh.
It is a way of covering up the fact that you are uncomfortable.
It is a way of showing confidence, whether real or fake.
The Laugh is a language on its own. It says so many things, while not saying anything at all.
I can try for years, but I know I will never learn The Laugh. For it is not something that is learned. You either have it or you don't.
Clearly, I do not.
If it's a covering-up laugh, that says you're not ok, b"h you don't have it :) i love when you take something from totally every day life and expand on it! Do more of those :)
