03/14/2012 - Rachel Thake - 'YOU'RE FAKE!' 'WHAT'S THAT ON YOUR HEAD?' 'YOU'RE CARNIVAL ALL YEAR ROUND!'

Those are some of the comments I received as I walked through the street at night. Comments made by people who know who I am, made by people who know that I wear a wig.
I do it, to please myself. I don't do it for the sake of making someone else happy. Wearing a wig makes me feel good, it's makes me feel versatile.. and it's a quick and easy change of style.
Originally, I didn't want anyone to know about it. It was my little secret. A little secret in which if spread.. would make me die of embarrassment at the time.
I'm a stronger girl now and I will be for the rest of my life. I learnt that I should change myself for MYSELF. I don't live to please anyone but me.
Say what you want.. call me rude names.. scream at me.. but you're wasting your breath. I won't do what you say. I won't change for you.
