things worse than alopecia. part 1.

alopecia is no walk in the park, but it's also not the worst thing out there. as an ongoing mini-project on being positive / not wallowing in hairloss, here's a short list of things that are worse than alopecia.

• cancer. this is self explanatory. not only do cancer patients also (sometimes) lose their hair, but they've also got cancer. CANCER.
• aquagenic urticaria. if crying could kill me, i'd be very sad. 
• not having any fingers. if i didn't have any fingers, it would be really tough to constantly poke at my bald spots. it would also be hard to use forks. and almost impossible to use chopsticks. 
• human werewolf syndrome. it's like alopecia but the opposite. and probably way worse.
