I am a redhead. In the past twenty years of my life, my hair has been commented on more than any physical feature on my body. To be fair, it does draw a lot of attention and I'm definitely not ashamed by any means. I take pride in my hair color and honestly cannot imagine myself with any other color (mainly because my dad refuses to let me dye it). While I adore my hair, there are some...interesting things that go along with our population.
Only having about three people to dress up for Halloween

I can go as Ron Weasley for the sixteenth time; no one cares.
People constantly ask where you got your hair done
"Do you have a soul?"
When you go to the beach and don't get sunburnt
Accepting that you will never be able to date Ed Sheeran because everyone would think you are brother and sister

Realizing there is a Ginger Pride Walk
Every old person you meet compliments you on your hair
Your friends always want to connect your freckles
