I am not bald or really heading in that direction at this point but I have been getting served this subreddit on my homepage and really enjoy it on a lot of fronts
There are:
1. People who are balding posting themselves with thin and wispy hair asking if they should go completely bald
2. People posting before and afters of themselves they decided to shave it all off
3. People who are bald posting pictures of themselves, celebrating the fact that they are bald
It the right mixture of earnest, desperate and empowering -- which is what I want out of an online community that I am a fly on the wall of.

As someone who isn't bald I find myself wondering about the life of someone who is and how incredible it must be.
Imagine the cool breeze brushing across your scalp on an early morning walk, how rejuvenating. Waking up not having to think about how you’re gonna style your hair that day, how light you must feel, physically and emotionally.
How blessed it must be to wake up bald.

Do you know how much time I save by being bald? It’s actually a blessing. I don’t have to do much. I take a shower, throw on clothes and walk out the door. I’m harvesting so many precious moments of my life. I’ve reached all of my goals and written so many good melodies while y’all haired people been blow-drying, conditioning, snipping, perming, styling and living like normal human beings.

I’ve never had my hair this short but I just had this urge to get rid of it all. It was a desire that had been building up for years and I started to feel like my long hair was like a wilted flower at the end of the summer.
Also I remember a bald friend telling me that if he had enough hair he would be experimenting with new looks all the time. So I took that to heart.

Just because I see a window to get across the street doesn’t mean you don’t have to look both ways. I’ve been on the other side of that though…

I met Erin (@RIOTGRRRL) and Jake (@SLOWDAZZLE) last year after I started using PI.FYI—we organized a meetup before a Jonathan Richman show and immediately clicked over our shared taste in music and similar sensibilities. We started hanging out a lot and had some great times together. I’ve also gotten to know many of their friends, who are all really cool. Erin and Jake started dating a couple of months after the three of us became friends, but our group chat still pops off. Their friendship has meant a lot to me, especially since moving to NYC in 2023, and I really appreciate having them in my life.
