Sometimes it seems to me that I attract small comic situations that only happen to me. And at the moment they don’t seem funny – on the contrary, I can blush, get angry or want to disappear. And then time passes, and I retell them to my friends, laughing until I cry.

For example, one day I was walking to the store with headphones on, listening to my favorite track and quietly singing along. Only after a couple of minutes did I notice that the headphones were not connected to the phone at all, and the whole street was quietly smiling. I didn’t stop, I just pretended that it was a mini-rehearsal for a solo concert.

Or another case. I tried to cross the road in a new area very confidently, where I still had poor orientation. As a result, I walked in a circle so confidently that a random passerby asked if I was giving a tour. Everything would have been fine, but then he actually asked me to tell him what was interesting in the area. That's how my "pseudo-tour" appeared, which I made up on the fly. And he even thanked me.

And then there was the story with the dress. I decided that I would look "appropriate" at one meeting and chose a very elegant dress. It was so beautiful that I didn't notice that the hem got caught on the fence at the bottom, and I walked as if in a tail of fabric. When a passerby carefully said: "Is this part of the image?", for some reason I said "Yes", and confidently walked on, as if it was supposed to be that way.

There are many such moments in my life. When you remember them at the end of the day, your soul becomes light. Because there is nothing bad in them - just life, as it is. At some point, I even started writing them down in notes to reread later. It helps when it seems that everything is not working out.

Sometimes it seems to me that it is from such trifles that the feeling of a happy life is formed: an embarrassed smile, a random compliment, a spontaneous “excursion” - all this reminds that you should not take yourself too seriously. I no longer try to avoid funny situations, on the contrary, sometimes I even hope that something like this will happen again. Because it is in such moments that I feel alive - a little ridiculous, but sincere and real.
