i've never really thought about this before but reading other girls blogs on here got me thinking about the time i got alopecia i was 14 and i left school at 16 and spiralled into depression until about 18-19
but u know what it was when it should have happened, i know i'm only 24 but i would not be the person i am today with out my alopecia and i'm sure most people on here would feel the same. we see things different its not so much about how you look, you never take ur health for granted and the love from a partner is as my friends have said not clouded by superficial stuff.
i would not have met the amazing people i have met and loved, have know the unwavering support from my family. sure i could have saved some tears, but would i know how strong i can truely be, i dont think so.

whats good too is that i have a twin who doesnt have this, and she shows me the other side, the purest generation Y girl with tons of makeup, an iphone, the guess bag and the expensive clothes ( i get the hand me downs so i love it)
and the insecurity she has and i thank my lucky stars i'm a strong bald woman with a great support network.
