Your Hair Does Not Define You
As someone who has never sat face to face with a doctor telling me I had breast cancer, I can only guess how I would react. Contrary to what I might imagine, the first question most women ask by far is whether or not they will loose their hair. Until I really thought hard about it, I assumed they might want to know their chances of survival, whether to have a lumpectomy or mastectomy, or a hundred other health related questions.
Then, I remembered an incident that happened a few months ago when I had my last haircut. The girl next to me had gorgeous, shiny black shoulder length hair. She was in a state of apoplexy because she claimed the stylist had cut off more than an inch of her hair. She was collecting clippings from the floor, sobbing, and demanding a ruler to measure the exact amount cut. In my estimation, even her best friends, if she had any, would not even notice she had a hair cut.
