Hello again!
I'm not sure how many of you remember me, or if any of my old friends from AW are still here. I haven't been active here in about a year due to a constant work/school schedule, but I wanted to come back and say hi to everyone I know and those I have yet to meet! How are you guys? What's been going on and how have you been?

Looking back at old blog posts I can honestly say that I think I've made it past the worst part of alopecia, emotionally. Yes, my hair is falling out, but I'm so used to it already and I don't think it's what defines me as a person anymore. If there are people out there who can't deal with it, then to hell with them! =) I really feel like I've come a long way, thank God, because I used to be an emotional wreck over it. My mom has gotten better over it too. She's still a little sad about it, but now she's able to talk about the thinning and wigs without having a breakdown. I've had a rough time dealing with her since this has happened and it has changed our relationship quite a bit, but I'm trying not to hold too much resentment and anger in me. I don't want to feel so weighed down by the negativity, and I do believe happiness is partially a choice.

All the guys I spoke of in old blogs are out of the picture. I dated a new guy for a few months, but he was a player and a manipulator. Not to mention he was incredibly immature, even though he was a decade older than me. Couldn't get over his ex, was big on mind games, yadda yadda. I had a hard time getting over him - still working on it - but time is helping.

As for my hair? It still looks presentable, so far. I think I'm going to try the laser comb this summer since it says it could work on female pattern baldness (which is what I have). Yes, I feel like this is a somewhat futile attempt, but my mother won't shut up about it and is willing to pay so I figure what the hell. In the mean time, my hair is thinning gradually over time. I have a new red wig that I bought for fun, but I like it more than my natural hair. I'm a redhead at heart. ;)





So that's just a not-so-quick little synopsis of how I've been, for those of you who remember me. For those of you who haven't, welcome to my life! haha. I hope to start coming here more often again now that it's summer time.

Have a great night!
Alexandra
