With the darkness, comes the light!

I have to thank everyone for their outpouring of love and support since I lost my eyebrows. I'm still pretty upset that they're gone, but I'm slowly getting used to it. I see what everyone is talking about now when they get annoyed at the slightest little things getting into their eyes. I thought my glasses would be enough to take care of that little nuisance, but they just seem to make things worse. And if anyone has ever lived in the South in summertime, you know that a more appropriate name would be Hell on Earth, because it's so humid and hot and muggy -- I'm the cleanest of people on a good day, but during the summer I take at least 3 showers a day just to get rid of the stickiness and sweat I can't stop producing!

Aside from that, life is good I guess. I have managed to continue to wake up every day, and for that I should be grateful. As long as I keep having that thought, no matter how much living with AA can be distasteful, hateful, horrible, and just downright hateful, I will keep that thought in my head and be happy that I am still here -- for that is the mark of a true survivor, and I'm just too stubborn to stop surviving.

I've also decided to seek counseling for all the issues I've been having with my AA. I've tried to adjust on my own as an adult, but I can't do it alone. Keep praying for me as I embark on this journey, because I am always standing in the need of prayer.

I love you all!!

Yokasta, you will never be alone! I know, "never" is kind of absolute. What I mean is that if you have Faith you can never be alone. Because the One who put us here in this place called Alopeciaville, put us here for a reason we may never fathom. However, He will never bring you to this place and not provide help to get you through it! We who've lived in this place for years and years are His eyes, hands, feet and hearts. I, for one, and I know there are many more like me, will help you in any way I can. I pray every day for everyone who lives in Alopeciaville, everyone who knows of it, who don't know of it, too. Even jaded types like myself! Hang in there! It will get better!

- Steve
