Life is funny sometimes ( who am I kidding, its funny most times ) As I was going thru my nightly ritual before bed, you know the stuff....teeth brushed, face washed, I was looking at my reflection and thinking "WOW I am happy." 2 1/5 months ago I took back control of my hair loss and shaved it off. Wow has really been only that long?? Since that day, for the most part, I have been happy. For the first time in the 27 years of having alopecia I not bothered by it. Yah sure there are days where I dont feel great and question my decision and yes there is days that I long for having my hair back, especially when I see ads for hair products and styling. Looking back to the first blog that I wrote here (just 3 months ago!!!) I remember the feeling of utter despair. I was crying non-stop and was hiding from the world. Ready to quit my job, not going out with my friends, and I even canceled afew family get togethers. Just so I didnt have to be in the public. All I remember feeling and thinking was that "OH MY GOD its happening again. Im going to be bald!!!"

I dont want this blog to be about me. The reason Im sharing this, is to maybe help those of you who is just starting this unpredictable journey of alopecia and show that "Who cares if Im bald." There is wigs, hats, scarfs, etc out there. There is more to life than hair. There is friends, family, your passions and interests. Dont let hair, or the lack of it hold you back from doing things.
