They’re taking over. I’m too young to dye. No cap, rizzlers.

Fuck

    One thing I wish someone would have talked at me about more often in relation to getting older… You already have problems you’re probably not paying enough attention to that you should look at now.

    Does your neck always hurt in a weird way when you get up? Mole that you were looking at one day and it doesn’t look quite right? Maybe you just started feeling a weird feeling in some part of your body and it never got worse so you just got used to ignoring it?

    You’re getting to the point where those tend to start escalating. Take inventory and get them checked out.

    • In case anyone needs to hear this — when blood and mucus start coming out your butt, you need to go to the gastroenterologist. Don’t believe your primary care physician who says it’s probably IBS and therefore untreatable and not worth worrying about. It was ulcerative colitis for me, and they have treatments that let you live your life without being tethered to the bathroom.

        Don’t be scared.

        You’ll be making inappropriate jokes with nomenclature that is no longer acceptable and being blamed for the the ills of the world in no time, as I blamed those before me and they blamed those before them. You won’t even notice when the switch happens either. It’s painless.

        You’ll still listen to and enjoy the outrageous rebellious music of your teenage years well beyond the time you’re the one warning the younger about the perils of rebellion, excess and even defending aspects of the system you swore you’d never become a part of.

        This might come in handy too

        Oh, you thought I was young? Sorry, was just having a little fun.

        Life is a beautiful thing. Don’t let its fleeting nature get in the way of you enjoying it to the fullest. Look at it this way: Right now, you’re the youngest you’ll ever be ever again. If that has some white hairs here and there, who cares?

        Have a great weekend, grandpa. ;)

          Thank you for these words, great-grand pa-pa. Truly.

          My lady girl likes em so I’m alright with it. Just hope it comes in salt and pepper, not saaaaaaaalt and ppr.

          It is true though. I listen to my Yellowcard, Silverstein, and of course JT, religiously. I cannot understand skibidi, and I don’t want to (I’m sorry if that makes me Ohio, my Z/A friends). I’m not so young that I don’t love a good Simpson meme either. I appreciate ya.

          Take it easy, and I hope you have a good one too!

    You’re never too young to dye.

    In fact, fuck societal norms, go crazy, try some funky colours! Do a half-length bleach to platinum blonde, add a green or turquoise strip, do frosted tips but instead of keeping them blonde, dye em copper red… The world’s your oyster.

    Or just keep the gray patches, chicks dig it.

      Yeah I got lucky there. My dad has a full head and my grandfather on my mom’s side did too.

      I still stress over losing it though, much more than being gray (fiancee wants it).

      I can’t pull off the bald look like a lot of guys can, so I’m getting plugs if it comes to it. I still got time to lose it all 😂

      If only I could grow a beard. Or literally anything that a middle schooler couldn’t also grow.

      Looks good on you.

    How do you not have crows feet - Christ your skin is smooth - I would take grey over looking like Ed Harris’s ball sack (like I do)

      My main tip is to never see the Sun.

      Thank you though. That means a lot. I fucked myself for a while by popping bumps when I was younger so I stopped that shit and just started moisturizing occasionally.

      Also I don’t really wash my face in the shower, just rinse. Idk if that means anything. I don’t follow a regimen.

      You should’ve seen my mom when she was my age. Super beautiful. I look like a Hobbit in comparison.

        I believe it’s the sun and good genetics. I’ve got decent genetics (I think?) but I worked outside all of my 20s and 30s. I used sunscreen religiously but squinting (due to sun) and the like also plays a role. It’s hard to remember to reapply in the middle of a 12 hr day, when there’s work that needs to be done.

        I’m exaggerating how wrinkled I am, but I definitely got crows feet and forehead wrinkles.
