This Is A Gray Matter.

article image placeholderUploaded by @FryedOreo
And I got my hair cut on my birthday. And that's the picture you're currently looking at. And man, it's so weird to see all these strands of Gray in my hair and beard. Now, the first time my Grays were coming on, I thought it was like dandruff dry scalp. I was like, what is this? I just need to wash my hair and it'll be fine. But I swear I feel like I look better now than I did when I was younger

Do you look forward to gaining more wisdom?

So I totally dig this topic. And you're like the topic guru. Like, really? But I love this for you. This whole concept of thinking that you look better than you did when you were younger. I love that. I wish that I felt the same way. I honestly feel complete opposite. Like, you're embracing your white hairs. And I don't know if it's just a gender thing. Maybe I feel like men just look better with beards, most of them

You raised some good points! @hoelistic

Yeah, over time it became something more I appreciated and valued because even for there was a time where I did my own hair, which was funny because it was so bad. People would say that I had a good hair cut back then when I knew they were lying through their d*** teeth. But it's all good. No love lost

We tend to mention how men look distinguished, and women are aging gracefully, as though they're somehow receiving, like, almost a backhanded compliment for not falling apart or letting themselves go. But it's definitely possible to enjoy how you look as you age. And I feel that way about myself on so many levels. Do I look back at younger pictures and think I love that skin again? Probably. But I have a much softer lens with how I view myself now than I did before

Thank you @JLMcMillan

And now you're expected to lose all the baby weight and to have ABS after the process. It's not just about you raising a child anymore. You got to be incredibly thin and healthy while you're doing it. Even while pregnant. It's a strange time. We live in the day and age of information, being at the speed of light. We're using it to socialize in rather artificial ways

@FryedOreo Awesome mindset! 💪🏾💪🏾

Good morning, Dewuan. Happy birthday again. Looking very dapper there, gentlemen. Looking dapper. I mean, you said you felt like you looked. You look better now than you do or younger. I sort of feel that way too. I'm a bit older than you. Yeah, I do. And I don't know if it's perspective, like the things you've mentioned. I have some grades as well

Thank you again, @PKBriggs

Big Daddy Cain. Active rock him. Active had trouble even getting his album out, even under Dr. Dre's. Tenorship. There's something going on with age, ageism in America and culture, especially in black American culture. But that's another conversation for another day. Thank you. Santa for the words

I don’t want to be an old person ageists, lol! @FryedOreo

You don't consider age, you don't consider pain, you don't consider injury. Nothing I find now me and my friends as a joke. We're going downstairs. I go toward the Banister, do you? And maybe I may touch it because I don't want to fall. Falling at 45 is not ideal. No. If some bus or something is coming, I'm like there'll be another one. I'm not running. You think about falling at this age

Lol, this is fun. @PKBriggs

Whereas Eminem, he's still regarded as a rapper, even though he basically is like a brand. At this point, he literally can stop rapping, and he'll be fine. He has the acclaim to which he doesn't really need to come out with another album. He already gave us iconic classics that will stand the test of time. But obviously he's a warrior. He's a competitor of sorts. Thank you for that. And the person you were referring to is Saha
