G-Dub is for … Gray & White 😻🐈 Deuces ✌
I started going gray before I turned 30.
TMI, am I right?
- Going gray
- I’m >30yo
But I might as well keep it real about my age and aging process!
How’d I begin my silver streak👵🏽 in the first place?
- My seasoned teacher colleague whose office was down the hall from mine had a head full of gray hair and suggested ~ actually, more declared ~ to me that this is a sign that we’re smart
👴🏽White👓 = 💡WISE!!!
My BFF and sis observed their own prior to mine. I first noticed it while I was doing my game day braids👧🏻 the post-season after my NBA D-League🏀 team won the 🏆NBA-DL championship…
Now that I’ve found a few more stragglers as I’m growing out my hair to donate without chemicals after I graduate, I’m looking at the bright [light –> white] side ~ the silver lining, if you will (hence the pun)
At least I still have hair on my head!
Speaking of white, here in other news📰 …
🌠My impeccable style + my adjunct 🍎teaching🍏 income (lack thereof ~ yet happy to have a job) while I’m on sabbatical for doctoral school = 🍹champagne🍸 taste on a 🍺beer🍻 💰budget💸
