All, doing a 5 minute freewrite. Thank you for reading.

It is actually hard to be a clown, behind everything that the clown does to make you happy, there is actually a lot of inner struggle within them to put up that performance. Day after day, week after week, their job is to make you laugh. The frown on a clown is something that you do not see, when the curtain calls, you go home with the fun you had because they amuse you. But clowns are humans too, they also have their own emotions and life stresses to handle.
While it might be hard to detect if a clown is struggling at the moment when you watch their performance, but give some time to appreciate them and thank them for their performance because that simple form of gratitude goes a long way. And you might just reverse the frown on their face to become a true smile.
