This is the chocolate that SpongeBob and Patrick were selling to people

Hahaha that’s so gross!

Looooooove this 😍

Even though I would receive compliments on my brightly colored orange waves and was told how empowering I was, and even though I often miss my bright Mountain Dew hair, the one bald compliment will always be worth so much more than the hundreds of comments about my old style.

So in that moment, this stranger, who didn’t know anything about me, saw me looking my worst at my crumby job, and decided bald is beautiful, despite the standards.

She not only made me feel seen, but also inspired me to look at myself and others from a different perspective.

She specifically said “if you can be beautiful with no hair, I think I’ll be okay too.”

And yet, she had no clue how at that time I had been struggling with my identity and image after the loss of my hair, which was my choice. After bleaching and dying for years, I was ready to start again.

But then she saw me. And she loved how I looked, and how my lack of hair complimented my face shape. She said she was glad to have seen me because it gave her reassurance that she wouldn’t lose her beauty simply because of her illness and treatment.

I was working (in retail) when a woman approached me on my sales floor. She told me she was recently diagnosed with cancer, and she was afraid she wouldn’t be beautiful anymore after losing her hair during treatment.
