“Cher! What happen to your face??!!”

“Ms Cherry, you had chicken pox ah?”

*With shocking-like-seeing-a-ghost face* “WHAT HAPPEN??!!”

You know..for the very first time in more than 20 years, I have people staring at my face with a shocking look. People have noticed my face more and longer than before.

I am not sure if I could ever get used to such “attention”. I feel like “Ugly Cherry”

Even my mom frowned when she looked at my face. “Why and how did it happen?”

My colleagues looked at me and sigh. “Cherry, you really look very tired..”

One colleauge said:”You look exhausted huh…less pretty now. *chuckled*”

CHUCKLED???

I can’t believe it affected me so much that day. I felt like “marinating” myself in a huge pool of antiseptic cream.

Mom joked that I have just “reached my puberty” because I am still growing, “vertically and horizontally”. I have grown 1.5 cm taller since last year. And my shoe size increased by 0.5.

I used to joke about “reaching puberty” too because I never had pimples before and hence, was never an “adult”.

I joked too early.

Looking at the brighter side, I think it is a phase that I need to go through. I started to feel empathy towards people with LOTS of pimples now. I feel like going to them and say:”I hear you…”

Now my face is undergoing an intensive care by the naturalist with different types of customised essential oil for healing and preventing blemishes.

I hope time will heal me.
