Feeling effin' great lately, with or without hair

[BigThinker]

Well, I just feel compelled to start a thread in "Hair Loss Rants". Every time I read a thread in here, it is so self-deprecating it almost makes me sick. I went home over T-giving break and saw family, old friends, townies (kids who never left our hometown and work dead end jobs) and, frankly, I just feel at peace with my hair and life.

Went to a salon and got my hair cut shorter than it's been since I was 14 or 15. I was just chill, told the [good-looking] hair stylist that my hair had been receding and I was looking to go shorter. She cut it, I tipped her well, and later that night one of her co-workers (who I went to high school with) texted me and said the stylist wanted to get to know me. EVEN WITH MY NW 2.5. Who knew that was possible?

So, now I'm sitting in my condo after an accomplished day at my internship. I'm about to go hit the gym down the hall. Then I'm going to work on my Master's Project that isn't even due until May.

F**K I feel good! I hope the rest of you will find that place in your soul where this feeling exists. It is there. You just have to find it.

Here's some pics of my hair to compare to when I joined this forum 2 months ago. I have a lot of new hairs growing in. I grew out my facial hair. This is what's up.

PS. Look, I even have a bit of acne!
