I was 60's child and it was the thing to have long hair back then, doing drugs, sexual revolution, rebellious, Vietnam and so on and so on. I know all of you in the same boat have looked back many times as I do and think what good times and bad times it was, and I wouldn't change a thing except to have started investing back then.
Anyway, this is about hair, which I just had cut off the other day. Can't remember last time I cut it, but I was wanting to grow it long enough to do a donation for cancer patients going thru chemo. I was willing to shave my head bald for it, but I was still a couple inches short. And it does seem to grow slower with age. I guess it could have been another year or more till it was long enough. But I just couldn't deal with it anymore.
Funny how age changes our priorities, my SO had hair down to her butt when we were in high school and thru much of adulthood, but with age comes a priority to keep life simple and not waste useful time, taking care of long hair. She cut hers way short.
I even let beard stubble grow out thinking I would mimic those young guys in underwear adds, but was always told my long hair and face growth made me look like another old fucking guy trying to look young! After my hair was cut, I was told I look a lot younger. Well shit!
Guess it's time to grow up?
Fuckin'A, not till I'm ready!
