And just like that-- 365 days of hair growth. This time last year I didn't have a single strand of hair on my head or on my body and now I have enough hair for a little pony tail, for it to blow freely in the wind, to straighten for the first time in a year and a half, to wear a headband in, AND TO EVEN PUT SOME PURPLE HIGHLIGHTS IN TO CELEBRATE SEPTEMBER AS HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA AWARENESS MONTH. I remember sitting in the oncology office sobbing NOT because I was told I had cancer in more parts of my body than I didn't have it, but because I knew losing my hair was inevitable. Yeah, I "pulled off being bald," but what 22 year old female (or anyone in general given the circumstances) wants to do that? Growing my hair back has been an emotional process between dealing with the awkward stages and random people asking what made me decide to cut my hair so short, and even people who don't know my situation asking if it's "naturally curly like that," but it's finally at a happy, manageable, and peaceful length for me! Thank you x infinity will never be enough, but to @chelseaharris52 not only crying with me as we cut my hair off, but laughing and smiling as we did my hair again after all this. I love you. Thank you for being you. #HairGainz #12MONTHSPOSTCHEMO #NaturallyBlondeAgain #MiniBob #FuckCancer #ForeverFearless #HodgkinsLymphomaWho #Stage4CancerWhat #WorkInProgress #EnoughHashtagsForOneDay
