My mom has always said it’s a privilege to age. And it’s true! Not everyone gets the chance to grow old or see their hair turn gray. She calls gray hair a “crown,” a reflection of the wisdom you’ve gained over the years. But…I don’t know if my mom can talk because she’s in her 60s, has never dyed her hair, and somehow only has a few gray strands. Like…seriously. Just look at my mama.
