A Laugh With Sarah

We couldn’t help but laugh at the absurdity of it all. “I swear, he sounds like a wannabe sitcom villain,” Sarah quipped, leaving me in stitches. Her humor was a much-needed reprieve after such a draining day. Talking to her gave me the space to vent, sharing my frustrations in a way only she could truly understand. For a while, the stress melted away, replaced by laughter and knowing eye rolls. In those moments, everything felt a little lighter, a little clearer.
