Yes it's true. I was avoiding. I have six months starting this post. Not want to write about this subject, but more than a jolt of honesty forced me to reveal this existential crisis overcome. Late last year, due to a large accumulation of stress started a kind of mutation. One day while I was combing, zuas, came a slash of hair on the floor ... at that very moment I thought I was dreaming, but that is was my hair. Medical Diagnosis: alopecia areata (Read more holes in the head). Just what I needed: I bald. To confuse and avoid the constant questioning widespread decided to embed a hat - such famous artist who hides his face - and that's how I increased my collection in a variety of shapes and colors. Of course, I stopped going to places elegant and classy, \u200b\u200bas neither it was Ricardo Montaner would wear elegant dresses Guachicono (read in Venezuelan Regionalism; shoes with rubber soles) and of course hats.
Some friends decided to name the tender (bastard) holes, some in English, some in English, "Izzie", "Arthur", "The Curse", "The Bermuda Triangle, "and surely others that I never heard ... other in a tone of joke telling me gourd with marker, jejejeje. Sometimes I was just smiling for no cursing, and neither wanted to leave, I liked to stay home to avoid discomfort, but on the other hand I grew each day as the bastard. And is that the more the more hidden were the unfortunate, and a great day I took courage and said: "I will not use more cap", of course, to a psychologist helped me saying "you are more beautiful without it, go take it off, be happy ... "Of course I never knew if it was true or lie, but I did believe and went levitating the couch.
The truth is that after that final decision, I faced a horde of critics, burlistas, fortune tellers, gossips and refined curious career, I said: Ohhhhh! Uhhhhh!! Ahhhh! "You hair is falling", "how sad", "how sad", "Why Suffering", "how terrible", "why so serious tragedy." "Oh no my child does not want to see more like this ..." I mean, people do not understand that when you drop a hair, not because one he wants? What carajooo recklessness alive! But do not think that the thing was there, there's more. The most authentic exponents of gender confused, were two copies: one student - a shrill voice and a face of disgust mixed with pity of others - that in the middle class, eating, chewing with his mouth open, he said: "Professor happened on head?, and long a shy smile that showed just the corner tooth and gum tip ... I stopped writing on the board, kept his composure even to the astonishment of her gall and explained scientifically: "It is a type of fall Hair follicle of pathogenesis not fully clarified, but closely related to loading conditions stressful, I turned around and kept writing. "
Weeks later I was in a very important event, and nearly erasing the holes were me, I had a triangle shape, and people did not realize it, but there appeared on the scene: the mother of the reckless. This time with microphone in hand and loudly made a special presentation highlighting all my honors, my career, in short, pure virtues, and I tire ... until he said, "is so cutting edge that is drawn to geometric shapes in their hair, a round of applause for him. " At that moment I felt like dying and I smile slowly faded away. If eyes were darts and she was bored like a sieve, I felt like an episode of Ally Mc Beal.
Until the other day, I snuff the hair. It was worse because it seemed Lutor Lex. Noooo, I threw in the towel. If I have short, if I have long ... buehhh. I could not please welcome this difficult public good taster, limp and abundant hair.
After visiting several dermatologists without success, made the appropriate office, there had to endure the pain of dozens (it seemed hundreds or thousandths) of stitches in the scalp, which I tried to stand but sometimes an "ay" is out now and then. It was not easy, much less rapid, but slowly was improving, until nature revived every hair in place. Healthy today, I go back time and again I realize it's very hard to please people and become part of a society that simply accept, reject, criticize, find, and is unwise. Nothing happens by chance, nothing happens without leaving this school and learned several lines, I would like to share with you.
learned to enjoy every strand of my hair.
