DRAFT___ Cinematically Sick - Cirrhosis and Hairless
One thing about me is that, believe it or not, I have never been a particularly vain person. Was I in a sorority? Yes. Have I always worn makeup? Also yes. But my hair? Absolutely not. I am, with deep respect to myself, one of the least skilled full heads of hair this side of the Mississippi.
Which makes the hair loss even stranger emotionally. Because it was not about being precious with my blowout routine. There was no blowout routine. There was barely a routine at all. But hair still becomes part of your identity, even when your bad hair days are part of your brand. And when mine started falling out, it felt like the disease had finally learned my name.
