Old memories resurfacing

I found out today that my brother is moving from Ontario to here in Alberta. My mom has been discussing with him for a while now about making the move. I'm truly happy about having him closer as its been many years since I have seen him. But with this move comes old memories and securities. You see he was the kindest when I was first diagnosed with alopecia and in fact he was the one that told all the kids at school that I was Bald and wore a wig. I know we are now adults and have fought our own personal battles. But that little girl inside me is still on edge. Today was the first day in five months that I put on a wig when I went out for the day. My confidence was definitely shaken today and he is expected in on Wednesday.

Or alternatively, keep a handy length of 2-by-4 behind the door, and make sure he sees it when he arrives... and tell him you're no longer the pushover he might think you are :)

But seriously.... that Little Kid is there in all of us, and it doesn't take much for him/her to put in an appearance.... especially regarding old fears that you thought were long buried. But sometimes, that fear is bigger than the situation warrants - we're our own worst enemies when it comes to assessing that sort of thing, and come Thursday you might well be wondering why you were so worried!
Maybe you need to talk to yourself instead - examine who you are, where you're at, and just where did Big Strong Terri, who's fine with being bald, go to??? Tell her to take the Little Girl out and buy her an ice cream, cos who can love her better than you yourself?? :)

Oops that should have been insecurities and wasn't the kindest.
