I have to say that through most of my life my hairstyle was an important part of my appearance. Longer hair and mullets in the 70's, 80's and into the early 90's. ( It was the look for the time ). That gave way to a shorter styled, layered and a neater coiffure. As I approach the age of 65 and noticed several months ago my hair thinning in front and up top, the shaved look was calling. Man, do I love it! No more styling and wondering if my hair will stay in place going out in public. No worries of wind, visits to the barber, sticking a comb in my back pocket, or checking on the slightest out of fluff look in public restrooms.
I feel liberated! I feel released from the burden of thinking I need to look good for the sake of public opinion. Besides, release of pressure at 65 falls into being able to hit the urinal with accuracy without wetting your shoes. Priority is in the eye of the beholder. And with my size and beady eyes, I look more intimidating at red lights, supermarkets, and The Home Depot.
The purpose of the thread is to never fear change at any age or circumstance. It's all in the outlook. Not necessarily in the outer look.
