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.

    The only bit that really sucks about being bald is if you don’t wear a hat you get skin cancer.

      Or if you do it in the cold, you get the mother of all brain freezes after a while.

      On the other hand, direct scalp access can come in handy for various medical things, and on a hot day I love splashing cold water on it.

      Yeah, true, there’s an increased risk, and I’m not as good about it as I should be.
