About Me:

I've had alopecia scenes I was born, only patches started to fall out and that was until I was 3 and then all my hair fell out. All through elementary school I hated the way I looked, I didn't understand why? my parents only told me what it was and nothing else, I had to learn the rest on my own. I always wore a hood or a hat cause I was tired people coming up to me wondering if i had Cancer or coming up to me and thinking I was a boy.

Surprisingly my hair started growing back in patches when I was in middle school cause they wouldn't let me wear a hat in school which was kind of good for me. when summer came along and I stared wear hats again my hair started falling out again.

When i started high school I was aloud to wear hat but I never took it off cause I was afraid of how my classmates would look at me.

My parents said they had wigs for me to wear when I was young but I didn't want to wear them because they made my head itch, plus I my friends said they couldn't see me with hair, they liked me the way i am and it makes me who I am today, I'm more lively, more talkative with my classmates.

I still wish i had hair but I think if my life would still be the same? would I have the same friends? and the same interest? but I'm happy the way I am.

Today I have tuns of friends who are always there for me, I love to draw anime, I'm kind of a nerd, I hope to be in animation business when i get older or a writer, try to get my story's out there.

I started wearing a wig with at the beginning of my junior year, and i feel so different (in a good way) i feel pretty, beautiful, but i knew i already was before i wore a wig. Guys come up to me now and they talk to me and flirt with me, which is different cause this never happens to me. I wear make-up now and i wear girls clothes cause now i think i look good in them, which i've always wanted to do, i've always wanted to feel girly and i've never felt that way before until now

when I found this site and other and about the women who were doing this and telling people about and understood i was going through I felt hopeful and good about myself and I'm just glad to be apart of this now.
