______________________________________
Narrator:
We often notice what happens around people.
The deadlines.
The responsibilities.
The expectations.
But we rarely see what happens inside them.
Every mind carries emotions.
Some loud.
Some quiet.
Tonight, we step inside one mind .
Lights dim.
SCENE 3: INSIDE HIS MIND

(Joy, Anxiety, Fear, Anger and Sadness enter.)
Joy:
Come on! Everything will be fine!
Fear:
What if the event fails?
what if something goes wrong?
3Anxiety:
The deadline is coming!
What if you forget something?

Why is nobody helping?
Sadness:
You're carrying everything alone.

The oraganizer then falls on his knees and start crying and shaking
Fear:
What if the teacher is disappointed?

What if everyone blames you?

You're exhausted.

What if nobody claps?

What if everyone laughs?

At this point, I might laugh too.

I didn't want to disappoint anyone.
But I can't do this alone.

Not because they want attention.
But because they see the world differently.
Even in solitude, strength can be found.”
