One of the things that I have faced over the years was being the goofball of the group. And as the goofball, or clown if you will, you are expected to act and be a certain way.
But the question that I raise is what happens when the clown has a bad day? Does he just swollow it down and keep on smiling? Does he take a day to himself and let it out? Or does he *gasp* dare to show his feelings around those who expect different?
The truth is, no one can be happy all of the time. Good times end and shit happens. You can't fight it. But the true test of strength is on whether or not the "clown" can be human enough to actually show their feelings.
But this is not just a test of the "clown's" strength, it is also a test of the strength of the friendships that they have made. Will the others be upset that the "clown" isn't happy? Will they try to help the "clown" get through their problems? Or the biggest of all, will they even notice?
