If laughter is the best medicine, then friendship is the prescription.

Do you have a friend with an unforgettable laugh?

When was the first time you heard it?

And is that laugh still in your life?

Think of it now.

## Are you smiling?

Do you have a WhatsApp thread like Sara's or a friend like Rick? 

How often do you keep in touch?

How many messages per month do you exchange?

What do you talk about?

## What do you talk about with these people?

Laughter. It’s the universal connector, the antidote to distance, and the secret sauce for surviving life’s absurdities.

The next time you hear a friend’s laugh try to be mindful that you are building resiliency.

## Go ahead, laugh out loud.

It’s contagious, and it just might be the core memory you didn’t know you needed.

Find your [Rick](https://www.instagram.com/local.medellin/?ref=pulpconversations.com), Martin and [Sara](https://drink.orangepillcoffee.com/with-sara-loncka?ref=pulpconversations.com).

If that special someone isn’t IN your life at the moment, just pick up the phone and call them.

# UPDATE (27 May 2025)

My friend Cecelia sent me a text scolding me for not including her laugh in this post. LOL.

Here she is. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have 🧐 for the last 30 years.
