A sigh of hope
A sigh of joy
A sigh of glee
Breathe in, breathe out

A sigh of sorrow
A sigh of grief
A sigh of despair
Breathe in, breathe out

Simple breaths
One moment each
To express multiple things
Just…
Breathe in, breathe out

I seem to sigh a lot and noticed it, especially the subtle differences between stressed, happy, or angry sighs.
