The end is near



After my shower I looked in the mirror at my very long roots. I thought "I wonder what my natural color really is, I want to go darker next time" so I pulled it tight to my head and looked close enough to see my scalp. For a brief second I thought "Hmmm I still have highlights wait...it's FREAKING GRAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"




Wiry gray hairs all up in my head. I look at my face- crows feet, bags, lines around my mouth, a huge crevice in my forehead.




When did this happen? I don't remember getting old! I look in the mirror and I don't recognize the person staring back at me. I feel like I'm a caricature of myself. I still think I'm 23.
Sigh.
