lost youth

So...the last of my youthful bronze hair is gone.  Got a drastic hair cut one last time.  Yesterday. 

Part of what was left of the length was what was left of my undyed, never altered, natural reddish brown hair.  Kind of sad.  But it needed to be done.  It looked bad.

This?  This....silver...platinum...pewter...gunmetal..... it's okay, I guess.

My mom said my hair shone like polished bronze when I was little.  I will never forget her saying that, because it was the only compliment I can ever remember her giving me. 

I wonder what she'd say about this.
