“You are getting so many grey hairs”, a friend commented. “Why
don’t you start colouring it?”
I muttered something incomprehensible about colouring being
high maintenance, and quickly changed the subject. How do you explain to
someone that you just don’t want to hide the grey. That coloured hair, or
highlights are definitely beautiful, but that you feel the need for neither. That
you actually like the streaks of grey, because you feel you have earned every
single one of them.
That, strange though it may seem in a world obsessed with
the perfect body, you are happy just being yourself.

This is the fourth year that I am going to be a part of NaBloWriM. The Plan is to elaborate (in 100 words) on a quote that touched my heart- let's see how far this takes me. If I can tie it in with the writing prompt, so much the better!

I wish I could be as content in myself as you sound to be in yourself. Thanks for sharing that.
Natasha - I love your attitude! People are who they are and their worth and beauty as individuals is reflected in their unique appearances. Why not celebrate it?
