When they say, "You look younger." It sounds like a compliment. But if a person looks young or more likely a kid, is it sill a gift or curse?






If you ever read about neanimorphic from my first blog (link posted below), you might also get interested in other related topics I have written on this blog site.

Is it a gift or a curse?


Having a face and body that is younger than your age can be a gift and a curse at the same time. It depends upon the situation and how a person handles it.


GIFT

At some point, it's a gift. I still look young while others look older than their actual age. When I was twelve years old, my mom told the bus conductor that I was eight. My mom paid only half of the bus fare because of that. There were times drivers thought that I was a student and even gave discounts on fares.

I remember my Auntie said, "You look like a kid now. When you are 40's, you will look 20's. When you are sixty, they won't recognize you as a senior citizen." In my conclusion, that is an advantage, and I will update this blog and share the way I look when I turn 30.


CURSE

Discrimination, judgment, sarcasm, and laughter aren't new. The word racism to the dictionary is the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another. It does not apply only to colors, nationalities, or gender. It also applies to a person being different from another person. Those foul words, laughter, and the way people look. It's not okay. I just realized some people only understand what they see. They don't listen because people judge according to their level of perception. It's funny that it only costs 0 peso/ dollar to be kind.


It's a curse that I can't buy alcoholic drinks alone without my ID.
