    I'd choose laugh.

    I hope you found a moment of humor today.

    I feel you. Whatever your intention was in writing this post. I feel you.

    Sometimes it is weeks in between my laughs. When I finally do laugh, I immediately uncontrollably cry right after because the laugh (I dunno- sudden joy?) is such a foreign feeling. It happened in front of coworkers and I was mortified.
