Even though I'm only 32, I have quite a lot of gray hair. I found my first gray hair at twenty and I was actually kind of amused by it. Like, "look at this little guy. You don't go here, you're so silly". So the years go by and more and more gray hairs pop up to join the first one and eventually I have a very noticeable amount of gray. I wasn't bother too much them. Sometimes I'd think "Yeah, I should do something" but I never did. My mom and my sister would get at me from time to time to dye it, but that actually made me balk even more (I think that it had something to do with the fact that even though I've helped both of them color their hair before, I knew they woudln't help me. Which turned out to be the case actually.) I think I've gotten more gray over the past year, I'm guessing because of the stress. So, finally, over the weekend I decided to do something about it.
Instead of just covering up the gray, I wanted to have some fun and chose a dark auburn color. It's not very different from my natural brown and you really only see the red of the light hits it just right. Despite that, I'm super happy with it and for the first time in a while, I felt really confident in my looks. I spent the whole weekend feeling happy and pretty and thinking that I should take more care of my appearance and dress nice and wear make-up and lose weight.
Yesterday at work a customer called me "sir".
oh for crying out loud,
work,
