My baldness does not define me anymore!
Hi, my name is Raquel, i am 42 and can honestly say that my hair loss does not define me anymore!
The road was long, bumpy, full of storms, self hate, low self assteem etc. But i am there!
I am loved, and i love! I am at a stage where i wear wigs if i want too and if it is hot i wear nothing but my smile on my face.
Today i know that it all starts in your heart. If you accept yourself everybody else will accept YOU! If you feel uneasy everybody else will not know how to handle you.
At the end..you need to look in the mirror and love yourself. And all else will fall inplace!
"Today you are you! That is truer than true! No one else can be more youer than you" -Seuz

Raquel, Welcome to a place of acceptance! I think you said it best, it was a journey of struggles and triumphs for me too.

If you haven't gotten Pam Fitros' book, Boldly Bald Women, I think you'd enjoy it. Welcome to the world of being boldly bald!

Eventually my choices were to always have this war in my head about myself and the way i am, or i could make the best. Since then i've read the fifth agreement that helped me with that last part of my journey' i did permanent make up and went for photoshoot that was posted on facebook. And i promisr you guys...even three years ago i did not want to see myself in a mirror. Hang in there! In all of you i see myself and i also see beautifull people! <3
