Grey's epitome

It seems an irony of the cruelest proportions.

On my 26th birthday, in the locker room of my gym, I happen to look into the mirror above the sink while washing my hands, only to be nearly blinded by the light glaring off of it.

A grey hair.

Sigh.

Happy birthday! So, Aquaruius-Capricorn cusp. Of course you are.

As for the grey hair, try to think of it as a portent of how much better it gets. It does, I promise you.

Yups - happy birthday! I think people are starting to get grey hairs at a younger age in general - just blame it on our crazy society!

Vila -thank you! To be honest I've kind of given up reading my horoscope. It usually tells me to 'keep resolutions regarding health.' Usually while I'm cramming something chocolate or deep-fried or both down my throat.

MI -Thanks for the reassurance. I'd like to say it was my first ever grey hair, but I first had that unfortunate experience over a year ago. But STILL.
