I don't worry about going grey; I'm forever going white with the vitiligo. It never depresses more than when I'm in a hot country and the rest of my skin usually gets burnt to buggery, such as now. It seems like every time I step in the shower I spot a new patch.
Plus, I am more convinced every day that the rings around my eyes are also caused by the vitiligo. Today, when shaving, I noticed that the entire ring of skin around my eyes is now discoloured- even the bit below my eyebrows. To say I feel sad about this is an understatement.
However, today I have also finally finished "Gulag: A History" by Anne Applebaum. To say I feel sad about the contents of this book is just downright wrong. The final chapter is about remembering the past, and it was like every single line in the book had not sunk in until that point.
I wanted to mention both these things together. I hope you can spot why.
