My widow's peak is still peaking, but the fear is real.

If your peak finally peaks, go for the trustfall, vs the kicking and screaming.

You'll land in a safe space 👍

"Someone always wants what you have" is what they say, right?

Fun fact: I've always wanted the bald dude look. Unfortunately, I'm scrawny and my head looks like a that one discarded milkdud in the bottom of the box.

I want to be ripped and bald and hot, but I've always been made fun of for my head shape and body size. So there's that. Have fun being a hot bald dad.🤘🏾😭

ain’t that the truth…

somehow you managed to take a pretty heavy observation and weave it into poetry (can’t stop, won’t stop). Dude, I think you could rock the bald look. Don’t let the haters get you down- including yourself! Worst case scenario: you rock a rad hat if you are uncomfortable- and hats are pretty universally accepted now. Unless your wife works at a high end resort and is the operations manager for the hotel in which everyone in the building is dressed to the nines… I’ve discovered that is not a socially acceptable situation to wear a hat. 😂

That was VERY specific 😂

what a journey! it is no small thing, this having identity and losing it, then choosing to see it differently. i was the opposite as you, and for different reasons - i had hip length hair, and post-betrayal i buzzed it. i felt your lines on choice/control here quite strongly! the iron and wine tune is a perfect touch! :) <3

Thank you so much for the affirmation and also sharing your story- and I'm really grateful that it all resonated. And the Iron and Wine just had to be done. It had to. I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊
