I went out shopping today...
I saw a girl, roughly around 12, with just a few blonde, wispy strands sticking up from her head. She was smiling and she looked happy, but her pretty blue eyes said different. People around us were staring at her, even though she didn't look at all out of place. She was beautiful, her lack of hair wasn't important and she wasn't wearing any makeup. She was so much braver than I would have been if I was in her situation - she wasn't wearing so much as a hat, whereas I'd have been so insecure - especially in public. I don't think I'd have been brave enough to even go out. I hope that doesn't make me a bad person. I just wanted to run up and hug her, and tell her everything would be okay. But what really upset me was the fact that I'd spent a long time trying to sort out my hair that morning. I nearly burst into tears in the middle of the store...
I guess we just don't know what we have until it's gone
