Meaning
This reads as a wry defense of ordinary, low-profile living. It can be taken to mean that being overlooked is not always a loss, because it can spare you unwanted scrutiny, and that only the unusual draws attention. In a setting where someone feels pressure to stand out, it lands as a reminder that quiet contentment has its own freedom.
