If it's small, it's a pimple. Pimples are nothing. Believe me. If you have them, you're blessed. Acnes are different. They're there to torture--physically, mentally and emotionally. They double or triple the size of their bases. So, if an acne's base is your forehead, it's like you have two foreheads (or an eye on the forehead). If it's your nose, it's like you have two noses.
Yup, acnes have creative powers. You wake up one morning and find you suddenly have double chins, quadruple lips or triple jaws. Sometimes, they deform your ear by growing on its back and oddly twisting it so you'd almost look like Mickey Mouse. Or, it grows awfully big on the side of your head and make you look like a cyborg.
Jack, my friend, is a gym buff and developed his muscles like The Incredible Hulk. He wanted to look tough and scary to street crooks as some kind of self defense and shoo them off by his mere looks. But too bad a huge, red acne decided to grow on his nose and make it glow. Instead of looking like The Hulk or The Rock, he now looks like Rudolf the red-nosed reindeer.
See how acnes can suddenly change your life?
They're okay if you have a car with tinted glasses so you can ride everyday to where you need to go. But it's different if you commute, especially if you ride public jeeps where you're always face-to-face with passengers--prying people who stare at your nose as if mesmerized by a 7th wonder of the world. But thank God you have an option--wear medical mask. It's common these days, anyway.
So, now you're suddenly a health nerd who's too worried about catching virus in public. See how acnes change your life? Now, the problem is if a smart acne decides to grow between your eyes and make masks totally useless. What are you going to do? Cover your whole face in public? And what Jack was really pissed about was when he was in this fastfood store and the food crew and cashier stopped everything they were doing, stared blankly at his nose, mouths open in near shock.
So the other guys in line wondered what was happening and were soon also staring at Jack's nose--looking like they were seeing a big UFO landing inside the food store. So, what did he do? He got out a hanky to cover his nose, acting as if he could smell something bad. So now he's an actor. If I were him, it's better to get a paper cup and act as if you're drinking. The paper cup would cover half of your face, especially your entire nose.
