Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.

Time
Today, I used to look so young for my age that in high school, I was regularly mistaken for a freshman. I never succeeded in getting dates because of it. Today, I'm 25 years-old and regularly get confused for being in my thirties. I guess all the stress from work, loneliness, and rejection really caught up. FML
Baby Face
Today, I was at work refreshing the shelves when a man turned the corner and said, very surprised, "You look 12!" A few weeks back, two people did the same thing, only they said I looked 9. I'm almost 21 years old, and just very short. Starting to get just a little self conscious here. FML

Today, I was asked if I had children who are in high school. I’m 17. This isn't the first time someone has mistaken me for a woman in her twenties. FML

Time is on my side
Today, I, a person who will be 21 in a few months, was mistaken for my mom's older brother. My mom is in her fifties. Apparently this is becoming increasingly common, because the world sucks. I didn't realize it was affecting me this badly. FML

Unforgettable
Today, I realized that since I was in elementary school, my friends, my workmates, and even my family, all call me accidentally by someone else's name instead of my actual name. I'm 30 years-old. FML

Today, the cashier at the local grocery store in my area said that I don't look a day over 40. I'm 28. FML

So you still look young, enjoy it. I have 32 yr old friends who look like they are almost ready to file for social security. I’m 47 and people think I’m in my early 30’s all the time. Incidentally, I have 17 yr old boy/girl twins and my son standing next to his sister looks 4-5 years younger than her and you wouldn’t think he’s started puberty yet, while she could probably walk into any liquor store and purchase whatever she wants as long as they not card her.
