Sometimes humor becomes a coping mechanism in a high-stress situation.

Not because something is funny, but because it allows you to feel something instead of nothing.

It’s a reminder that coping doesn’t always look the way people expect.🎙️

And that real strength looks like acknowledging what’s happening beneath the surface.
