I'm losing my hair but not my smile. Our looks don't define our worth. Continue to shine bright!

Who's looking at your hair with sleeves like those? But agreed, so many place so much in looks, like, it's important to take care of yourself, but it's not your personality..

That’s a great smile!

D'aww darling, you look gorgeous! Just as an aside… I had a friend with cicatricial alopecia and after a while the hair just came back. He didn't really treat it at all. Doctors just thought it was stress. It wasn't alcoholism, nor food; he still drank like a fish and was/is skinny as a rake. Thicker head of hair than I do now and we're both the same age. That's not to insist your worth is dependant on hair because that's absolute b*******.

From a fellow baldie*: You're radiant and anyone who thinks different is blind. Promise. *Mine is chemo induced, so probably temporary (apparently 'usually' is the qualifier applied to statements about whether it grows back), and therefore not the same as what you're experiencing, but hey, you're also much prettier than I am (and I look like I'm in pain when I smile), so swings and roundabouts, I guess! (I am being slightly tongue in cheek while also telling the truth here. I don't actually mean to imply that what you're going through with your hair loss isn't hard for you because you're pretty. I have now overexplained to the point of silliness.)

Attention r/pics Community, on June 12th, r/pics will [join](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/141e2lw/rpics_will_go_dark_on_june_12th_in_protest_of/) with other subs in initiating a 48-hour blackout in response to Reddit's recent API changes. These [changes](https://i.redd.it/zqptto18e34b1.jpg), with excessive charges for third-party app developers, threaten to stifle the accessibility of alternative Reddit apps that many users rely on. This collective action aims to highlight the concerns of both users and moderators, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a diverse ecosystem of apps for a better Reddit experience. During this blackout period, r/pics will be set to private, temporarily restricting access to the subreddit. We understand that this blackout may cause inconvenience, but we firmly believe that it is a necessary step to draw attention to the issues at hand. By standing together, we can amplify our voices and urge Reddit to reconsider the detrimental impact these changes may have on the broader community. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/pics) if you have any questions or concerns.*
