the loneliness of being the funny one 🤡🌙

Being the funny one can be lonely. People love your jokes, your timing, the way you make the room lighter 🤡 But sometimes your humor becomes a curtain, and everyone laughs so hard they forget to ask what's behind it. You can make pain sound hilarious, which is a talent, yes, but also a hiding place.

I hope someone notices when your jokes have tired eyes 🌙🤍 I hope someone hears the small truth underneath the punchline. And until they do, I hope you let yourself be serious somewhere. You don't have to entertain your way through every hard feeling. You don't have to make your sadness easy for people to digest. Try saying one plain thing tonight, even if it's only to yourself: 'I'm not okay.' No joke after. No little emoji to soften it. Just truth. The funny part of you is beautiful, but it shouldn't have to work overtime to keep the hurt from being seen 🕯️
