I have a confession; I color my hair to cover the gray that keeps popping up.
How old are you? That's fair, I'd probably do the same.
I'm 47, so with age comes increasing gray, I know.  However, I am very young at heart.
Age is just a number, my friend. Your body just wants to tell you otherwise.
I'm just going to say it; I like you.  You seem very wise and practical.
Why thank you. I'm not old enough to be wise though, honestly haha.
Age has little to do with wisdom.  Thoreau discussed the error of respecting the aged, just because they were older.  Wisdom can manifest itself in anyone.
That's very interesting, I'd like to think that I have a fair amount of it then/
I'd say you did.  Have you ever read Walden?  It's message of self-reliance and personal independence might resonate with a thoughtful mind like yours.
