I actually like my bald head!

I've been perusing through some other breast cancer blog sites and quite honestly, sometimes I'm surprised at what I come across. I realize that everyone handles things in their own way and on their own terms but yet I can't help but wonder how some people make it through what has to be one of the most difficult times in your life with an attitude that is "less than positive". For example, this quote really caught me and I really felt the need to respond to it, if only through my own blog.

"What is it about my bald head that makes people want to rub it?  And, if someone tells me that I have a nice shaped head one more time, I’m going to deck them.  The shape of a woman's head is not a typical feature of beauty.  No one has ever heard anyone say, “Check out that bald chick.  The shape of her head is so nice that I can’t help but admire her.I look ridiculous and I know I look ridiculous.  It is a phase that I am willing to go through to get better, but in the mean time, I don’t have to like it.  I just have to deal with it. " (Quote from a breast cancer survivor blog)

Call me crazy, tell me it's the chemo brain, or agree with me that attitude is everything, regardless, I LOVE my bald head! And I LOVE LOVE LOVE rubbing it! It's as if I am carrying around my own personal GUND teddy bear. :0) And, I am SO thankful that I do have a great shaped head. It's true that not all heads are shaped the same. Admit it, haven't we all seen a bald headed man or 2 who would look better WITH hair? Even with folliculitis my dermatologist told me I had a great head. Who am I to argue with the opinion on an expert?

I agree with the writer that she doesn't HAVE to like, only deal with it, but take it from me, it's so much easier to deal with when you actually do like it!
