The Bald are the Beautiful.....

So! My mother and I were watching the Price is Right yesterday (who hasn't at some point in their life..Haha) And I went to the kitchen for a bite to eat I suppose, I don't exactly recall why I was in there or what I retrieved. But as I walked back into the living room, The Price is Right was doing that wonderful thing where they call a new contestant down. And I was preoccupied with whatever thing I had that I can't recall now, but as I plopped (gracefully, I might add) down on the couch, I sim… Continue

Yep, that's about as far as my wig goes. My picture. I don't have ANY good bald pictures of me. I got one set of pictures done bald when I got my senior pictures, but wasn't happy with them.

People of al ages are learning from each other how to cope, and how to live. So many people are being touched to the soul with wonderful advice, encouraging words, even with a simple "Good for you!"… Continue

I talked about this on my facebook, but not on here. I decided that as soon as I get to college, I'm nixing the wig. I'm moving seven hours from home for college, and by gum, I'm going to fully be myself when I get there. It's kind of a funny thing, because when I was speaking in front of my sociology class about my baldness, my teacher asked me during my presentation, "So, which one is the real you, the wig? Or how we see you right now?" I had to think a little bit, and finally answered, both.… Continue
