Day 123

(Today’s photo is of my almost bald head. It’s below the update if you want to read but don’t want to look.)

First off I want to thank everyone for their kind words in response to last night’s rather depressing but cathartic post. I’m late again but tonight’s picture was taken on May 3rd so technically I’m within my self-imposed rules. *laughs*

Anyway, this project is all about being honest with myself and with all of you. I feel that without including at least one photo of myself with my almost bald head I’m not being completely honest and so tonight’s photo is of me without my scarf or bandages. I’ve been contemplating this for a while and even taken a few photos prior to this one and tonight I finally feel as though I look okay enough and am secure enough to publish a photo of myself as I actually exist.

I understand that this might be upsetting for those who love me so I’m putting tonight’s photo at the end of the post so you can choose to read and not look if you want to. Thank you all so much for all of your love and support and for stopping by every day to read and comment. I love you all, you mean the world to me.

With much love and great affection,

~ Carol Anne

I started this project as an honest look at myself. That said, I’ve had some nights where I’ve offered you shots of my feet or my eyes or even a piece of notebook paper. Tonight I’m sharing this photo because this project is an honest look at myself, my life and this process. I’ve bared my soul to you and now it’s time to give you an honest look at what I look like. One of my biggest fears in all of this is not knowing what to expect. I hope by sharing my experience I’ll help someone else know that even though it’s scary you can get through it and perhaps offer them some comfort by giving them an idea of what to expect.
