As we are reopening our economy and starting to return to some sense of economic normalcy, I find myself feeling a lot of emotions about the concept and practice of wearing a mask.

Masks make me uncomfortable. The ones that wrap around my ears make them itch. The ones that wrap around my neck sometimes pull my hair. The cloth or covering makes my face feel hot and sticky. I find it difficult to breathe. I can’t show off my beautiful smile behind a mask. It doesn’t seem that I speak as clearly with a mask.
