we live in such a shallow world
appearances are so highly regarded. It is actually saddening.
If this condition has given me nothing else in the last 12 years- it is the realisation that beauty comes from within.
It really saddens me that some with alopecia are too afraid to even tell people about it because of being judged.
When we die- we are not remembered for our looks, but for the people we are !
As frustrating and upsetting this disease can be, I am thankful that I am healthy and am lucky in so many other ways. I watched my dad get cancer, lose his hair in PAIN, and it made me realise that it isn't the end of the world.
Hair is just hair- and with wigs, and fake eyelashes, and fake eyebrows- we still look how we would look if we had the real thing, for the most part.

Thoughts for the day!
