I told the world I'm bald and I didn't die.

Yeah it sounds silly but I was worried about telling people even though I've battled this my whole life. Just not to the extent of wearing wigs til the last couple of years. I actually posted a "natural" pic on Alopecia World fb page and got so many sweet comments and encouragement that I decided to post it and little lesson about AA to my personal fb page. The responses were overwhelming. Every single person I am friends with commented very nice things. For once I felt like I could be truthful. It was very freeing. I even got messages about people that have battled it or know someone. Pretty cool. I hope everyone sees true beauty comes from within. If you are bald don't be afraid to be who you are and rock it!

Congratulations! I love your subject line. We spend so much time being afraid...of what?

Love examples like you.  Tried wigs for a while.  Just too hot.  May shave it one day.  http://damselindepression.com/wig-wrap-or-razor/
