No matter the circumstances you can only hold it in so long before you have to let it out. So you might be thinking belches? sneezes? other not so savory bodily functions? Maybe a giggle burst forth at an inopportune time. Maybe you held your breath as long as you were humanly able. What are you holding in that needs to be let out?
I can't speak for men, well, sometimes I have been known to try. Generally speaking I can't speak for men, but I can for women. Women are sometimes masters at holding it in way longer than we really ought to. It can be a heavy burden to bear.
Laughter is a fabulous thing to let go of regularly. It's one of my favorite things to do. Nothing better than an infectious laugh. But the flip side is tears. Sometimes you just need a good cry, and sometimes it's hard to get to that place. Woman will get that sentence without explanation. No offense to the men.
Then there are those times when a situation touches your heart and the tears just come. You didn't plan it, didn't see it coming and whammo the flood gates open. Even in your dismay you realize it is a moment of grace. If you are truly blessed there is someone to help you mop up, to prop you up and share the burden so you can go on. And you do go on... a little lighter for letting it out.
