</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">and as i was painting, my coworker urged me to go wash out my hair because i had paint on the top of my head. {no surprise, i am a messy painter} </span>so i go. and i look for that paint. <u>except it wasn't paint after all.</u> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">just my gray hairs.</span> my new friends, just a couple years old that crave attention and <i>love</i> to <u>stand out in a crowd</u>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">i remember the first time I noticed a gray hair sticking out in the middle of blackness {as a 19 year old}. i plucked that sucker out and taped it to a black piece of paper as proof. well you know how they say when you pluck one three grow back in its place? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;">totally true. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">so now i have about ten little white strands that will no doubt multiply and replenish my head very shortly. {i even have a white eyelash} and for once in my life i am jealous of blondes. they don't really have more fun, but they can sure cover up those grays.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">and even with this fact looming over my head, i really don't believe in living life in fear. <b>i do believe in <u>living every moment to its fullest</u> and never taking anything for granted. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
