You are so right about the fact that individuals within the same community can react so differently to their condition. With Alopecia, there are so many degrees to which people actually lose their hair and then so many degrees of emotional struggle with the condition. Kayla Martell demonstrates the degree of acceptance we all wish for.
This is exactly why I love and depend upon encounters with diverse perspectives on any issue. It helps me see myself and my own challenges from different perspectives, often helping me to see my own issues in a more positive light, or if not, at least reminding me that others do not necessarily see what I see when I look in the mirror.
