- A candid message to people dealing with tough stuff (everyone) from my heart through a rare moment of tears...Another valuable lesson from this crazy journey of hair today, gone tomorrow....
more than an answer to that simple question.
I found someone who could be my hero, because of her revelations on simple things like life. And who an always get up when life knocks her down. And who inspires me to get up when life knocks me down.
You're a lesson and a gift to the world, and to me in particular.
I don't really know what else to say. BUt... thank you. For being yourself. And you are yourself, hair or no hair or wigs or patchy or whatever, you're you, and you inspire us. Thanks.
My girlfriend has it too. She's a big fan of yours and you inspire her. Stay strong!
This made me cry so much. My mother recently got diagnosed with Cancer and i suffer from depression which lately seems to have worsened due to the news. But during all my low points, it was always you who kept me going. You're my rolemodel. And i'm thankful. I'm really thankful for your all advice and for just being you. You're one of the strongest people i've ever seen. Keep smiling, miss, for yourself and all the people who look up to you. You are an absolutely amazing person.
I would like to donate to your cause. You have really moved me.
Georgia, you're beautiful with or without hair. Thank you for sharing your honest emotions with us. I cannot relate to your specific situation, but have gone through my own trials during my time on this planet. Humanity stands to gain a lot from people like you!
Please let me know if you ever need an ear. =) I'm here to listen.
I'm 22, I first dealt with alopecia areata at 11. It wasn't too bad then and I got my hair back not too long after. It was still devastating though and I'm not sure I ever got over it. Earlier this year my hair fell out again and it went fast. It was and is hard to deal with. I can honestly say that finding out about your story helped me though, helped me deal with it :) So thank you for doing everything you've done and will do. You're amazing
Sometimes, my life feels hard, like I can't keep going on. And then I think of things like this. You have it so hard, and yet, you always come back swinging.
You've become my personal hero, Ms. VanC. I didn't even think about how much it would impact my life when I looked you up. All I wanted to know was whether or not your accent was real. I looked you up, found out you'd done stuff other than Vanille - and I looked up your channel and I've been following you for a while.
And I got so much(c)
@Victoria Reyes what a great message thank u for your understanding and sense of humor!! sending you big hug!!!! xx
Georgia, you're such an inspiration to me! You're so beautiful and strong and I wish I could be more like you. Thanks for being amazing! :)
Sending some virtual love and hugs! Stay strong and beautiful!
*Hugs* I'm sorry you're going through this, I think you're being very brave, and handling it well. It's Ok to cry sometimes if you need to, you still are strong. Thank you for the message, reminds me I'm not alone too. : )
hey:) fellow alopecian here - I understand everything you said and you are right, it has to come from yourself, it's not enough to find acceptance in others (even though that helps too, it has to start with yourself).
thank you so much for this video, your message means a lot to a lot of people - not only us alopecians.
hugs to ya' and stay strong :)
p.s. I shave my head (what's left anyway) and wear scarves, I have a ton of them, it's the perfect solution for me
Congratulations for all those emotions! :)
I have had alopecia for 23 years. The only time that I had had my hear totally grown back again was when I was 15 and I had a treatment with cortisons. It all came down when I stopped taking that medication. It felt so good while it lasted.
I haven't known anyone who has alopecia (I mean, in real life), so when I find a photo of children with AA, or a video like yours, I feel like "Oh, this girl came out of the same mothership as me!" =)
I was victim to a bit of cyber bullying just yesterday. my picture was put up on a page and I was dressed up, and my gender was questioned. This isn't the first time. I'm ok with knowing that my face and my body aren't typically feminine. I've struggled so much with feeling ugly, but I've grown and have people in my life now that tell me everyday I'm beautiful. But it still effing HURTS when people are so cruel. Life is cruel.it's OK to cry sometimes at the unfairness. thanks for reminding us.
Georgia we all love you no matter what. I am also so happy that you can FINALLY let it out. It is truly the first step in being an honest you. And you thought you were the honest you before -GRIN -. Well now you are off to the best days of your life although I know right now it certainly doesn't feel that way. You don't have to be "the girl who wears wigs" or "the girl with patchy hair" or anything like that. You are Georgia who makes the choice day by day - it does not choose for you.
@MissSmithy1928 thank you so much sweetness! your messsage makes me smile all over. i hope your Mum starts a speedy recovery and im sending you both hugs!!! xx
you are so sweet - thank you so much for your awesome words!!
You have my support Georgia! Be strong!
Thank you - sending you a big hug!
Stay strong Vanille.
When life throws you a curveball, hit it out of the park. I think you are very strong and cool. :)
Thank you so so much!! Sending you a big hug!

This raw honesty touched me in so many ways. I have had Alopecia Areata since I was a toddler (now 21) and for years, it really, really sucked. The bullying I faced was horrifying, but was even worse was what I accepted and believed about myself. These past few years, things have totally changed and now I am more confident than I have ever been. This raw honesty though, being able to see that someone else really understands what you go through, is probably the most valuable thing I have found in this journey. Thank you so much for being brave enough to post this video.
And thank you for sharing - you made my day! It makes it so much easier to be brave when I hear from people just like you and feel that incredible connection. You are so not alone! Sending huge hugs!!!

@luckiione you are such a beautiful soul! thank you for sharing this with me. i am.sending you the biggest hug and i am sorry that someones own insecurity was inflicted on you!!! sending so much love xxxx
Georgia, you are so beautiful with or without hair. I really understand your pain, I am currently 21 and losing my hair rapidly. Unfortunately, this came at a point when my life was going great. As you said, in this video when we lose our hair, it does hurt. I am male, and it might be more acceptable in guys but it stills hurts, but I will admit that after looking at some of your videos,you have motivated me, to embrace it and start learning to love myself again.Please, Hang in there, beautiful.
I love that!!! Yeah I work with CAP Children's Alopecia Project and NAAF national alopecia areata Foundation.
