I finally stopped being ashamed of something "only men" are supposed to deal with

It sounds so silly, but I’ve spent years feeling less like a woman because of a secret I was carrying. I’ve been hiding under hats and avoiding mirrors for so long, thinking my problem was something I just had to "deal with" because it's usually seen as a guy's issue.

But today, I finally hit a turning point. I admitted to myself that I’m struggling with hair loss and more importantly that I deserve to fix it. I’m officially starting to research hair transplants and just saying it out loud feels like such a huge weight off my shoulders. I'm actually choosing myself today!
