As the Tears Run Down… Continue

Every now and then signing on to Alopecia World allows me to reflect.

To share, also connect with people who's life has been thrown into a spiraling pool of loss, isolation and sadness.

Where the only way to feel accepted in the outside world, is to cover up with head covering.

So here at Alopecia World we are free to shed our wigs, our hats, bandannas and head coverings, that hide our sorrows.

Here we can unwind, disrobe, to tell our stories, pains and… Continue

Nooooooo............you don't wish you were THE "D" WORD!

I am not even going to say it.

The "D" Word is for Defeat, Denial, Defiance.

To think this way or wishing this way is not the way out.

In fact...it's the "END"

Giving up is no Accomplishment!

I will not Drag Negative Energy Out and Feed off it!

We shall strive to use the "D" Word as Discovery, Determination, Deliverance.

Life has… Continue

Remember 39 years of Grief & Sadness, as we all know.

I too would hide after all my long hair fell out at 14 years of age.

I would wear scarves, synthetic wigs & cry about the discomfort.

The itch, heat & the pain.

Feeling Anger, Hurt & Sadness.

Because perception & insult didn't allow me to be myself.

I would hide....hide & fear being seen.

Fear ridicule, fear judgment &… Continue

It wasn't a Choice in the End.

I would be so "HURT" with the World, for expecting me to live uncomfortable.

Being told to"COVER UP" as though it offended them.

Because they couldn't Deal with their own "Insecurities".

Unable to Accept my Appearance and "My Facade" expecting me to "ABIDE"

As though it were them, who had my Problem!

Like I, was somehow the Freak of Sorts.

The Attitude was Undeniably… Continue

Every day, no matter how many years go by....it's the Cliche (over used expression) which becomes nonsensical. I shrug it off in revolt these days....."hmmmmmm"

My own quietness, observation of ignorance and awareness, is to the nth degree. When all the while, deep within the psyche of their intellectual perception, they're so busy judging our external facade.

After all...if it's what's on the inside that counts......then why are they…

I do understand..cause when I'm not thinking and walk by a mirror...I still after 30 years get a gasp..a shock and revolt feeling like a freak too!

Even though I had hair long ago and the last time was when I was 14 years old...I still remember the feeling..sitting in a car or bus, just with my head near the window..enjoying the wind blow in my face and through my long beautiful hair.

Just today..i looked in the mirror and thought..where does all that positive energy come from, which… Continue

I try real hard to share the adversity and understanding I have, for those who share the same condition as me...Alopecia!

I am proud to walk with my beautiful sleek look.

My son loves it!

HOWEVER...YES...THERE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE THEIR OPINIONS, JUDGEMENTS, AND PERCEPTIONS ON HOW WE MUST ACT AND FEEL.

I endeavor to help bring a compassionate understanding, of the adversity we all go through...yet the separation of different emotions always have to be evaluated.

This…
