Unlike Orange Nose moments, which tend to be transitory, Orange noses are those things that make us different in a more permanent way. They can lead to Orange Nose moments.
For example, being a 6'2" (186 cm) woman, is my Orange Nose. I can't change it and it affects my life on a daily basis, causing me to feel like I am different.
It can lead to Orange Nose moments, like the time a friend wanted me to be on their volleyball team, without realizing I don't have an ounce of athletic talent.
Sharing your Orange Nose might help someone feel less alone, inspire another human being, or even...save a life.
