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

- 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

- when your crush likes you back
- back scratches
- laying out on the grass and not getting sunburned

Yes, there is a good feeling when we can take off the hairpiece and rub our head. . .one of the best/soothing feelings in the world.
Hi all,
We have a lot of the same things on our lists! Thank you. This will be my ":go to" when I feel said or need a pick me up.

There are a million aspects to being a person, a friend, a family member, a traveler, a citizen, an artist, a researcher, or a caregiver (even for a pet). Hair has nothing to do with most of these, so look to all those other skills and attributes instead of to hair!

I'm not happy all the time either, but I try to get "snatches" of time when I really enjoy the moment.
Happy is subjective. I like contentment better. (proper english?--please excuse me)
appreciate what you have. and find your own brand of "happy:"

Very interesting post, but do you know since I realised that there is nothing i can do about my hair, I got a wig and have had so many compliments I don't think I want my own hair back, I can shower before bed, without having to worry hair will be awful by the morning, I can get ready for work in record time, I have had eyebrows tattooed on and look great, so realised that there are too many positives to not be happy about it, I also improved my diet, having correct nutrition has made a massive difference to who I am, more energy and I feel cleaner inside after giving up dairy and wheat amongst other stuff, I never eat chemical based food or processed, or alcahol, so all in all alopecia has made me a better person both spiritualy and mentally.
