Genç Yaşta Saçı Ağardı Diye 'Kocakarı' Dediler… Ama Köyün Kovduğu Nineye Bir Tek O Kapı Açtı

On the evening of Hıdırellez, the spring festival, a fire was burning on Çamurlu's threshing ground. One by one, the girls lifted the red cloth over the clay jar and dropped their rings inside. At the very end of the line waited a twenty-two-year-old girl in a pale blue headscarf; locks of snow-white hair spilled out from under its edge. In her hand was a copper ring her father had bought her at the Yozgat market.
The ring had barely touched the bottom of the jar when Saliha Hanım's hand plunged under the cloth. "What luck could an old hag have?" The copper ring fell into the dust, right at Gülendam's feet. Around the fire, the laughter grew louder.
That same autumn, on the fourth evening of a rain that would not stop, an old woman leaning on her staff, in a faded brown dress, walked into the village. The first door she knocked on was Saliha Hanım's. Then the second, the third, the fifth. When she sat down on the stone by the well in the rain, the only one who came to her was that girl whose hair was whiter than her own.
This story tells of two white heads side by side at one hearth, a copper mirror, and a whole village that fell silent by the well one spring morning. When we don't know who the stranger at our door really is, how do we look at them?
In your village or your neighborhood, was there someone considered "unlucky" because their hair turned white too early, or because of their face? Or maybe one day a traveler you had never met knocked on your door. Tell us about that person in the comments; like Gülendam's folk song, let their voice blend with someone else's.

Sıkıntısını çok çekiyorum.
Sürekli kuaföre gitmek zorundayım. Birazcık uzyınca gözlerinden önce saçlarına bakılıyor malesef😢
İnsanların önce dış görünüşüne önem veren acımasız ve cahil çok kişi var👩🦳
