Playing Hide & Seek: My Alopecia Journey

We hide when we are ashamed, when we’re scared, or when we don’t feel like we are going to be accepted. We hide for fear of judgment; we hide from our past mistakes. We hide our true selves, believing we aren’t good enough, smart enough, lovable enough or worthy enough.
