Old

#1

The husband decided to get new glasses and had his eyes checked out. Turns out he can actually see a lot better now. He’s still short-sighted (just like me), but about one diopter less than when he got his last glasses. I blame presbyopia, which is scary because it means he’s getting old.

My mother found my first grey hair. It was actually more white than grey, which is the only comfort I can find, since I think that white hair is more elegant than grey. But it was a non-brown hair nonetheless. This is not good. I thought I’d be completely fine with it once it happened. Turns out I’m not. I don’t want to have a grey hair. I’M ONLY 25, FOR GOD’S SAKE! I’m too young for this. It’s also strangely fascinating, BUT I’M STILL NOT FINE WITH IT.
