The Joke of Life navigates the ever-expanding gap between dreams and reality. Expectations that fall to the dissatisfying cards you're dealt. Middle of the night regrets of the past and worries for the future. Accepting pain and allowing tear-stained eyes to fixate on a better horizon. Understanding our shortcomings as simple humans navigating complicated emotions. And when those all become too much, what's wrong with letting out a sigh, chuckling to yourself and saying "it's all part of the process."
