Dude! I had the grey hair thing happen to me too! I was only 31 when it appeared (which I felt was too damn earlier to be going grey), but after my two year ordeal with chronic back pain — which was a major stressor — this one little grey patch appeared on the side of my head. Nowhere else, just one little spot amongst all my brown hair — it looks like I got shot in the side of the head with a white paint ball haha.
I felt it was caused by the stress of the chronic back pain saga, but I’d never been able to ‘confirm’ it. Your piece helped make it real for me though. (I’m actually writing a series about that back pain ordeal that I’ll be sharing soon :))
Also, there are so many examples throughout your piece of how you bring humour to this hard situation, but for whatever reason, this one got me —
Oh yes! It’s totally a real thing! I don’t exactly…look forward to hearing about you in pain, but you know what I mean. 🤪 I look forward to reading those.
Heh. Crappioka is one of my standards. Gotta come up with these, man! They help pull us through. Pirate at will. You can holler that one in front of your grandma even. ☠️🤣😈

Keep fighting the good fight, Alexx :)

Hehehe it’s always handy to have what I’m going to call ‘subtle-humorous-swears’ that can be pulled out in front of grandma hahaha
Absolutely!!!!
