      I get these long white hairs that my family would call “cat whiskers”. I have two on my forehead and they can grow to be like 2 inches, it’s pretty nuts. Terminal Hair, I think? My fiancee has them too.

      Could it be that?

    Found my first grey hair when I was 16. Since then, multiple GFs have found the occasional grey hair. I’m 45, and weirdly my hair keeps getting darker. Used to be a platinum blonde, turned sandy blonde, and now it would be called brown…

    You’re never too young to dye.

    In fact, fuck societal norms, go crazy, try some funky colours! Do a half-length bleach to platinum blonde, add a green or turquoise strip, do frosted tips but instead of keeping them blonde, dye em copper red… The world’s your oyster.

    Or just keep the gray patches, chicks dig it.

    How do you not have crows feet - Christ your skin is smooth - I would take grey over looking like Ed Harris’s ball sack (like I do)

      My main tip is to never see the Sun.

      Thank you though. That means a lot. I fucked myself for a while by popping bumps when I was younger so I stopped that shit and just started moisturizing occasionally.

      Also I don’t really wash my face in the shower, just rinse. Idk if that means anything. I don’t follow a regimen.

      You should’ve seen my mom when she was my age. Super beautiful. I look like a Hobbit in comparison.

        I believe it’s the sun and good genetics. I’ve got decent genetics (I think?) but I worked outside all of my 20s and 30s. I used sunscreen religiously but squinting (due to sun) and the like also plays a role. It’s hard to remember to reapply in the middle of a 12 hr day, when there’s work that needs to be done.

        I’m exaggerating how wrinkled I am, but I definitely got crows feet and forehead wrinkles.

    One thing I wish someone would have talked at me about more often in relation to getting older… You already have problems you’re probably not paying enough attention to that you should look at now.

    Does your neck always hurt in a weird way when you get up? Mole that you were looking at one day and it doesn’t look quite right? Maybe you just started feeling a weird feeling in some part of your body and it never got worse so you just got used to ignoring it?

    You’re getting to the point where those tend to start escalating. Take inventory and get them checked out.

      In case anyone needs to hear this — when blood and mucus start coming out your butt, you need to go to the gastroenterologist. Don’t believe your primary care physician who says it’s probably IBS and therefore untreatable and not worth worrying about. It was ulcerative colitis for me, and they have treatments that let you live your life without being tethered to the bathroom.
