00:00What's your condition? Because for sure, when you go out, there are a lot of people asking

00:04Maybe on Twitter, there are a lot of people tweeting their beliefs or in their minds

00:09about you wearing a bandana.

00:11Why did you wear a bandana?

00:13I also have alopecia, hair loss.

00:16So, I don't have hair.

00:18I'm wearing a wig.

00:20That's why I have an insecurity that

00:24maybe other women deserve it more

00:28because it's not difficult for them.

00:31You're thinking a lot.

00:35It's an issue of your mother.

00:37It's an issue of your health.

00:41Your studies.

00:43You still have a relationship.

00:45Your job.

00:46You have a lot on your plate.

00:48You don't know what to prioritize, right?

00:52Alopecia.

00:54It's not just that you lost your hair.

00:57Right?

00:58Others, there's only a part, right?

01:00At the beginning, others disappear.

01:02For you,

01:04she lost everything.

01:06That's why she's wearing a wig now.

01:08We don't know what effect this has on her self-confidence.

01:12We don't know what effect this has on her

01:14on her concept of self-love.

01:18Maybe, I don't know,

01:20maybe that's why she's letting go

01:22because she feels she's not loved enough.

01:25Maybe that's why she's letting go.

01:27Maybe she's doubting people

01:29because even she herself

01:31doesn't have a high opinion of herself.

01:33A lot is running through your mind.

01:35Your mother is sick too.

01:39That's why

01:41you're confused.

01:43Your mind is confused.

01:45You don't know what to do with your decisions.

01:47Maybe that's why at that point

01:49you're thinking of reducing.

01:51Yes.

01:53What hurts is that you reduced

01:55your relationship with Andre.

01:57You want to reduce it.

01:59But how are you now?

02:01It's okay.

02:03Sometimes, it's hard.

02:05But I can do it.

02:07How do you feel about yourself?

02:09It's just a fight.

02:11It's just a fight.

02:13Because if I give,

02:15it's like

02:17my father gave me

02:19for nothing.

02:21For my mother,

02:23I have a stronger heart.

02:27What effect did alopecia have on you?

02:29It had a big effect

02:31because sometimes

02:33I get scared.

02:35Then, I see people

02:37who have hair.

02:39Especially my classmates.

02:41Of course,

02:43they're fixing their hair.

02:45But I can't fix

02:47myself.

02:49The insecurity

02:51of my personality

02:53has a big impact on me.

02:55I'm so low.

02:57That's what I think of myself.

02:59Because

03:01I have so many problems

03:03and I'm like this.

03:05But

03:07it's okay. It's just a fight.

03:11Can I give you a hug?

03:37It's hard.

03:41When my hairline rises,

03:43it's intense.

03:45You know, the staff

03:47when the showtime starts,

03:49I lose my hair because of stress.

03:51I have so much insecurity.

03:55It's far from what he went through.

03:59It's far from what he went through.

04:01My journey to acceptance

04:03was so long.

04:05My hair is ugly.

04:07I'll be criticized.

04:09You know,

04:11when you're gay, you want your hair to be beautiful, right?

04:13Then you're gay

04:15and your hairline rises.

04:17Shucks! What if I have an aura?

04:19What if I'm on TV?

04:21What will they do?

04:23It's not just about my hair.

04:25It has an effect on my confidence.

04:27Right?

04:31It's so hard for him to go through.

04:33That's why there was one time

04:35I put my performance aside

04:37to make people like you famous.

04:39I hope somehow

04:41it made you feel good about yourself

04:43watching that performance

04:45because that was for you.

04:47To help you

04:49regain your confidence

04:51in yourself.

04:53To regain your confidence in yourself.

04:55Because you know,

05:01it's really heart-wrenching.

05:05But,

05:09in the end,

05:11it's not about your hair.

05:15It's not about your hair.

05:19It's about the kind of love

05:21you can give to yourself and to other people.

05:23And that love

05:25will come back.

05:27There's no hair.

05:31Just try to love

05:33yourself and other people.

05:35It will come back.
