Sometimes humor can be used to broach a serious topic you otherwise wouldn’t know how to talk about. Sometimes, sending a relatable GIF to a friend can bring a smile to their face on days when it’s hard to get out of bed.

Whatever your situation may be, humor can definitely be a powerful coping tool.
