Overcoming challenges to achieve ambitions in life.
21st century is called the place for Gen-X. Here, the millennial lingo “cool” is associated to you based on the way your position yourself as a brand. Most part of this positioning is based on the way you look and socialize on the digital platform. Well, this is where I face a challenge. I have an auto-immune disease called Alopecia where the immunity system starts attacking the hair growing cells of the body. Unlike most other diseases, it takes away one of the most important aspect of the definition of ‘beauty’ i.e. Hair, keeping aside the gradual decline in confidence level that one possesses. The doctors treating Alopecia are not sure about the cure, so there is hardly any hope that my beautiful hairlocks would ever return to how they used to be. When this piece of information was given to me, it hit me really hard taking away a significant part of my inner strength.
After days of contemplation and overthinking, my conscious told me that this could not be the end of my story. So, I pushed myself to stand again boldly in front of the mirror and in front of the world. I gathered all my strength and took life day by day, by talking to more and more people about it, so that I could increase awareness about this disease among people to an extent that they never look indifferently towards any other person they might encounter someday. I already had a lot of critics and I couldn’t allow myself to be one of them. So, each day, I walk out of my room like a warrior because the world can only bring me down when I allow it to do so. And there is no way, I’m making that deal.
I think the Gen-X book of millennial lingos would call it to be “BALD and Beautiful”.
