Accepting my age

The time has come to embrace my natural greyness. When I look at my reflection, silver locks intertwine with my dark hair.

I remember the "frenzy" of years gone by, eagerly trying every colour to stop the passage of time on my forehead. But what was I so afraid of losing when I lost my youthful tones?

My ability to love, I thought then. But love is not so superficial, nor is our value tied to any fleeting physical trait. Throughout my illness, this lesson was forged through hardship: no real time was lost, only lived.

Now, when I look at fellow artists, their beauty at my age inspires me. They gracefully carry the years that bring wisdom, not as burdens but as gifts. And in my own "garden" - the landscape of my soul - I have cultivated an abundance too precious to deny.

This season, I let nature take its course. My grey hair is a badge I proudly claim, proof that my dreams and passions live on even though my hair now glistens with stardust. My journey doesn't end, it just changes shape once more.

It's cool to see you're okay with your gray hair now. Before, you worried about looking old and tried to cover it up with hair dye. But now, you realize love and value aren't about how you look. Going through tough times taught you that every moment is precious, whether you're young or old.
Keep being you!

Certainly, when we accept ourselves at the age we are we realise that we have been missing out. Sorry for the late reply, I was a bit busy with my work and family.

Having gray hair is one of nature blessings to us, though it is not an easy thing to accept. it is a good thing you have come to accept it wholeheartedly.

Now I understand it, but before I thought it was horrifying.

Lol! I can relate, just like me...I am getting to 30 this year and it already feels horrifying, I can't stop imagining what 30 will be like 🤦

I glad you finally accept all of you. Wear it with pride.

That's right, amen.

Maybe you didn't mean it to be but your words are poetic and profound and a lot of meaning, deep words and stories unfold lie here. I'm glad that you're embracing this phase of yours. All the best to you, Star.🌹
