deflect

whenever i see someone, specifically a woman, with dreadlocks i have this sense of camaraderie. inwardly i tell them "i had dreadlocks too!!", but say nothing out loud. instead i just seem like some regular person starring at someone cooler than myself :S

I do the same thing! And I think, "I'm no longer as cool as that person." And I feel a bit sad.

I wonder if this is universal for people who have had dreads.

i suspected you felt the same way :) it probably is universal.

it might be true for people who once had rad-coloured hair and now look like teachers.
