I’m having an aging moment, but not in the way most people think. I’m not fearful or wary about it. I rarely think or talk about my age, until OTHER folks remind me. Because I’m happy about it. I’m not running from it. My hair is intentionally gray, because I chose to stop coloring in 2018. I don’t feel a way about it. I actually love my gray hair. And do y’all see, the sun & surf bleached it more while I was in Mexico? I love my life & I’m aging gratefully, so it just doesn’t occur to me to talk about aging very often. I know how old I am (55). I’m reminded of it by my lower back, knees & occasionally my hands when I try to open a jar 🤣. I rarely fret or worry about it, because I’m busy - living 💗 —— Hows-n-ever, other folks project 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 feelings about aging to me. “𝙔𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙝𝙖𝙞𝙧 𝙞𝙨 𝙖𝙬𝙚𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚, 𝙄 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙣𝙚𝙫𝙚𝙧.“ “𝙎𝙖𝙮 𝙤𝙡𝙙 𝙡𝙖𝙙𝙮, 𝙄 𝙗𝙚𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪’𝙙 𝙗𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙮 𝙩𝙤 𝙗𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙖 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙣𝙚.“ “𝙎𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙗𝙚 𝙙𝙤𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩, 𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙖𝙜𝙚?“ ——- Respectfully,🖕🏾all of that. I’m happy and blessed to acknowledge & represent my age. But I’m not the arbiter or gatekeeper of other people’s feelings about aging. #ageless #flyageless #flyagelessambassador #blackgreyhair #choosegreytness #GenX #over40 #over50 #50plusandfabulous #locs #over50__style #naturalhairjourney #silverfox #silversisters #locnation #teamnatural #teamnatural_ #gograybechic #thelocdmovement #loclife #locstyles #greyhair #saltnpepper #aginggracefully #midlife #auntie #auntbae #saltandpepper #grombre #thegreynation (at Washington D.C.) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRpELGzlfBK/?utm_medium=tumblr
