Heavy is the Head That Wears the Crown
I (31M) wore a pink turban with red, white, and pink feathers and a red rose to a show named Crowns (a musical play about southern black women in their fancy church hats) because my friend was performing in it and told all her friends to all wear their crowns. Well, I was the only one with a hat of any kind in the whole audience.
My assigned seat was randomly right next to a male friend I’d known casually and even dated (once, unsuccessfully) in the past. He brought his roommate (26M) to the show. When my friend introduced me to his roommate I shook his hand but held on longer than normal and looked him right in the eye, smiling.
We’ve been together 14 years, married for 9 years, and have an adopted daughter.
