I'm fine, just not eating much, but that's ok I have a little extra padding! It's funny, I have been told over and over and over again that I look the same even though I'm bald. Almost every single friend has said to me "get over it" (which by the way is NOT a good thing to say if you have hair and the person you are telling to get over it doesn't) and I just wouldn't get over it.
But I think I'm finally over it. I don't know why I associate being "whole" with having hair, it really is the most ridiculous thought out there, but when you have been through loosing your hair and the traumatic effects of being forced bald, your self confidence goes out the window with the hair.
I had two people confirm this for me yesterday, they confirmed that I was indeed-with or without hair-the same person I have always been, and I want to thank both of them for being "straight" with me.
It is terribly hard to stop feeling sorry for your bald head, but one person in particular really let me have it today on that subject and it was such a relief to finally after all of this time, be able to let that go and accept that I am-indeed-the same person (and this is the crazy part of it) with OR without my hair.
Isn't that the definition of a real friend, to love you just as you are, to always see that person as the most in all of their qualities??
