You Have the Option
When a person find something funny, or amusing, or relatable,
They laugh.
Or giggle, chuckle, exhale, or snort.
And their heart fills with happiness, and feels light and joyous.
When a person finds something painful, or hurtful, or hard,
They cry.
Or sob, bawl, tear, or snort.
And their heart fills will sorrow, and gets heavy and hard to hold.
We can either laugh until their sides hurt, or cry until our eyes are wide and puffy.
I think I'd rather laugh.
It's more attractive. And more attracting. And more enjoyable,
Than puffy eyes and a swollen heart.
