Clown


I hate clowns! In fact, I have a fear of clowns. So is that clownerphobic? Ha! But why do they scare me? Is it because they share a fundamental similarity to myself? Is it because they live behind a mask? A mask they can't take off no matter how hard they scrub. Or maybe it's a mask they choose to keep on?


A week ago, I was challenged to face my fears. To stare down that round red nose, to scan over that white face, and look deep into those sad eyes. What I see is me. I'm afraid to admit my flaws, my insecurities, my doubts. In that way, I am very much a clown.

  1. Take off the mask with the appropriate removal cream and get one you can leave on or takeup at will.
