Youth is fickle. It really is.

And I always knew this. It’s not like this revelation has hit me right in the face. I am just now truly beginning to understand it. And it’s tough!

Because we see ourselves often, it’s difficult to see the youth fading from our faces. But like sand in the hourglass, it’s slowly trickling away. We might not feel it, but it is.

It’s only when we see pictures of ourselves from say five years ago when we go, “Damn, where did the time go? I used to look so young! Look at that baby face!”

The wear and tear of living life begins to show sooner than later. Not just in our faces. And I have begun seeing the evidence in mine. Let me share.

My goodness! Is that a grey hair!?

You can imagine my shock, disbelief and frustration when I found a small patch of grey hair in the middle of my head just a few months ago.

Yes, I spent almost half an hour pulling each one of them out not fully understanding why and how this could have been happening to me. I have a full head of shoulder-length black hair. Now, a white patch in there is not welcome. At all!
