What makes you happy?
Yes, we all have some form of alopecia and that can all make us a little sad sometimes, but what are some things that make you feel happy & content?
My list:
- receiving letters
- good morning texts
- tight hugs
- cuddling with my cat Luna
- buying a new book
- when they add whip cream to your coffee without you asking them
- cute gestures
- getting inspired and writing for hours
- books with happy endings
- buying new clothes
- warm sheets fresh out of the dryer
- my bed after a long day
- taking off my hairpiece!
- laughing till my ribs hurt
- aiming a paper ball perfectly into the trash can
- meeting new people
- when your crush likes you back
- back scratches
- laying out on the grass and not getting sunburned
- the beach
- bookstores/libraries
- taking a good picture the first time
- scented candles
- unexpected adventures/detours
- freshly baked cookies
- napping
- getting compliments from little kids
- watching cute cat videos on YouTube
- being surrounded by good people at a concert
- discovering a new band that no one has heard of yet
- those catchy pop songs on the radio
- when my mom buys me pizza
- writing long lists :-)

To be able to find a woman in my life yet who will accept me as I am with my alopecia Universalis. Ive never had a girl friend a rela in my whole life. To find a decent job, I have 2 coll deg's, a BA & a MA yet Iv been cronically unemployd 4 yrs, to get a decent job so I can live on my own, I took on a roommate about 4+ years ago after I got downsized from my last job. To have some kind of a god damn social life so I dont have to do everything alone, so I dont feel like the later actor Patrick Swazey did in the 80's movie, Ghost, when he was walking through the crowds in New York, when he was dead and no one could see him. To be happy period. Mark Hansen

Mark. ..Think of the things YOU enjoy...And continue to create a list. Life can be difficult at times....my Mother bless her heart...she has been gone almost 4 years used to tell me to put my problems on a shelf and go help someone. ..best advice ever, my problems seemed less. The problems are always there...it's choosing to help someone or others less fortunate. Life is Good...look for someone feeling unseen in a crowd and let them know YOU see them and they matter. Good luck in all YOU choose to do

Mark, I have no idea how old you are, but I was there at one point in my life. Sure I was going to be alone. Not having a girl accept an offer to go out, or if they did it felt like a pity date. Then I met someone that only ever knew me as bald. Someone who thinks I look odd in pictures with my wig.
It can happen. Try and take a positive outlook on yourself first. That helps...believe me, I know. You'r bald...flaunt it. Use it. Own it. Be confident in who you are, and women will figure the rest out.I'm here to talk if you eant. I know how it feels on both sides.

Yea but even if you meet that ONE woman who thinks you look good enough to date bald is it enough? When other people around you have multiple relationships and sexual experiences is ONE woman that finds an unattractive oddball like you attractive is it enough? I know that it's not enough for me. And it's probably not enough for Mark either. We wantt to be normal and have experiences with multiple women like a lot of the attractive and desirable men. But at the end of the day we know our baldness is our glass ceiling

I love your list. ..thanking God for your hair loss. I need to incorporate that one to my list as I have learn much from losing my hair. I am so blessed when I look around at all I have, most importantly being a healthy woman with a healthy family.

What an awesome question to ask as I started seriously "sweating the small stuff" today.
- My loving family I could make a long list about.
- My many friends who love and accept me for being exactly as I am.
- Being reminded by other people to be grateful for what I have as opposed to being ungrateful for what I don't. I tend to forget these things a lot.
- Making music, performing music, listening to music and dancing like a spastic rhythm tart to music!
- Making people laugh and smile... Big time!
- To be able to cry like a "real man" should. And to realize, because of this list, that I'm happy about it!
- Good movies.
- Good food.
- God, as I understand Him, in my life now.
- LaCroix brand carbonated water.
- To be able to help someone when they need it.
- And, last, but not least... this list!
Thank you, Jackie!! :)
