How do you stand out in the crowd?

Now this is something. In fact, I've never actually thought about it. I got so used to being in the background, to being invisible in the crowd that I haven't thought of actually standing out.

Yes, I know, it is quite sad for me to think that way. But these past weeks (or should I say months) since quarantine started, I did notice something that made me stand out at least a little bit. A lot of people kept on saying ー especially when I would go to the market ー that I don't look like my age.

And that's why most of the enforcers there would ask about my age. That I look like 17 years old. Apparently, people below 18 aren't allowed to go out, even until now, because of the virus. And that includes senior citizens, as well.

Basing from this, I guess I can say that I stand out in the crowd because I look younger than my age. And I also tend to talk to myself, especially when I'm walking ー at least, before people were required to wear face masks. 😂😂

Embarrassing, I know. And yet it seems like a habit I can't remove. That's why people would look at me when I got caught up with it.
