Strength

My universal loss of all hair has created a strength I could not have recreated without this catastrophic loss. I will always be at a loss for why it happened but it has given me the insight to look deeper at others. We are given life sentences and there is always a positive to them, just took a while to find it.

Couldn’t agree more. I am 30 years old and haven’t had hair since I was in the 2nd grade. Without a doubt it has made me into the man that I am today. It’s been a rough road and a magnificent one at the same time (that’s life). It has made me into a better person that I don’t think I would be without it.  Stay positive my friend. Give alopecia the middle finger and always live life to the max!

i cannot really see this. 

I started suffering from patchy AA during May 2015 and by august 2015 i had lost some 40% of my hair. Now my hair is fully grown, but one or two patches full of whitish hair.

Having a semi bald head didnt make me any stronger.

The key work you stated is semi! I no longer have any hair, it has humbled me to not look at the exterior of a person but look inside. But hey the good part is that I now cycle at a 20% increase in speed due to less resistance.

ok, so you have seen the end of the line, you cant get any worse and you start looking upwards.

I, on the other hand didnt even know what was areata look like, and each new patch on my luscious hair was very distressing.

It is always good to see some sense in some loss or suffering. My hair loss has opened me the gates for so many deep conversations with people I now hold very dear.
