When asked recently what I enjoyed most about attending the alopecia conference, I had to think for a while. Then it came to me. It was obvious and clearly the thing I enjoyed most.
It was simply being in the same room as other alopecians.
There were about 80 people present. There were the participants who wore wigs, there were those who wore scarves and there were those who had their head uncovered ie just bald.
The people were bright and colorful, yet terribly normal. No one looked odd, no one looked strange, no one looked out of place. Even more memorable was this.
Everyone looked beautiful. Especially those who were simply bald.
They looked normal and natural.
Their heads were perfect, shiny and round. Quite simply perfect.
Those heads belonged to faces, which were kind and lovely. Shining eyes and radiant glows. These baldies were quite simply beautiful.
So that was my lasting memory.
Yet as I was reflecting on this last week, the following dawned on me. If they looked so normal and beautiful, with their bald head exposed, why wouldn't I?
Why wouldn't I look beautiful bald?
Maybe I would too.
Just maybe me too.
You absolutely, definitely and 100% would look stunning!!
