Until yesterday I used to have long hair. Due to unusually high tempetures I started having problems with the skin on my head. So, to avoid problems. I shaved it clean and it will remain that way until the skin in treated.

Now that I'm bald, I now know what's it's like. It sucks. My old hair suited me perfectly. It was messy just the right amount, perfect length, made me look different than the rest and handsome as hell. Every girl would look at me where ever I went to. Compliments floating over the air, jealous looks from other men etc. etc. It made me feel powerful.

But most importantly, it suited my personality and clothing. It was perfect! But now it's gone. I hate bald me. I will never look back at this bald version of myself.

It feels weird. I don't feel that bad but still it's disheartening.

Since you're stuck with baldness until the skin is treated, maybe have fun with it? Get some kids' WASHABLE markers and let your friends' kids draw on it.

Oh, what am I saying? You already have A PERFECT ORB!

Just get yourself between 2 mirrors and contemplate it.

DO NOT CONTEMPLATE THE ORB!

That's what I've been doing! Friends' kids find it hilarious and I do too! Pretty funny how it just reflects the light!
