So, I went to the hairdressers today to get a few inches hacked off my bob. I prefer it short.
There is this shy, young kid just starting his apprenticeship and when I see him I'm reminded of being 16 because he is exactly the type of guy I would have had a huge crush on as a teenager. He's got this skeg look going on with bleach blonde hair and a tan and sweet brown eyes.
It's so nice to be 32 and not have to be paralysed with shyness around a cute kid anymore because he really is just a kid to me these days. On the other hand, it made me happy to remember a time when I would have been too shy and self-conscious to even look in his direction - to be reminded of a place in my life when a cute boy could absorb all my attention and distract me from anything else that may have been bothering me at the time. It was nice to be reminded of 16 again even just for a few minutes.
He even had a cute name - Jackson. All the cute boys have names that start with 'J' I've decided.
Soon enough, I will be back to 32 with all my missed opportunities behind me and a blank future ahead of me but it sure was fun to revisit the best parts of 16.
