i never do stuff like this but here it goes..
it’s september, that means it’s alopecia awareness month! (and my bday month)... i never talk about alopecia because most people who know me already know why i don’t have hair or at least have some idea. to be completely honest... 98% of the time i forget i’m bald, but there’s always days where i cry and let it out and miss what i never had. sometimes i long to fit it. it’s honestly all i want sometimes. maybe it would change who wants to be friends with me, what guy likes me, what people think of me, people’s first
impressions... i don’t know, but what i do know is that this disease is unchangeable and for some unknown reason, the Lord chose me to battle this challenge every day of my life. I’m still trying to figure out what the reason is that God made me the way i am, but i wouldn’t have it any other way. the other day one of my best friends said to me, “oh sorry hannah i forgot you’re bald.” when people say this to me i normally just laugh, but i smiled when she said it, because it made me realize that being bald is not what people who know me see. they see the real me. alopecia is a blessing and probably one of the biggest blessings i’ll ever receive. i’ve gotten free disney tickets, random all access passes, met famous people, gotten free food (hundreds of times), special treatment, and i’ve made
some of the best friendships in the world. honestly all this to say, thank you to my best friends and everyone who has watched me grow up and love me for exactly who i am, bald and all. i love all of you with everything i am. and HAPPY ALOPECIA AWARENESS
