Not all of us have the same tools at our disposal to manage heartbreaking emotions. To all the beautiful people out there, especially women who are fighting the same battle, I know it¡¯s hard, I know for most of us, our hair is the crown we never take off. But what if you¡¯re facing a battle so tough that you have to lose your hair¡ªyour pride, your crown? If you want to win you¡¯ve got to take some tough decisions. And I choose to win.¡±
?She added, ¡°I have decided to give myself every chance possible to win this battle. I choose to let go of my beautiful hair before it starts falling off. I didn¡¯t want to endure this mental breakdown for weeks. So, I choose to let go of my crown because I¡¯ve realized my real crown is my COURAGE, my STRENGTH , and the love I have for myself. Aur haan.. I have decided to use my own hair to make a nice Wig for this phase. ¡°
She also mentioned why she is recording her journey. Hina went on to write, ¡°Hair will grow back, eyebrows will return, scars will fade, but the spirit must remains whole. I am recording my story, my journey, to ensure that my efforts to embrace myself reach everyone out there. If my story can make even one day of this heartwarming yet excruciating experience better for someone, it¡¯s worth it.¡±
She concluded by writing ¡°Also this day couldn¡¯t have gone as I hoped without the presence of the people who have taken a vow to support me thru thick and thin.. MY PEOPLE.¡±
