Once upon a time, I had hair. Loads of it, all over my head. I could even do that thing where you flick your head slightly and the tendrils of your fringe whip at your face. There was a time when I felt the breeze in my locks. I could run my fingers through it. I could style it. No more. No. More.
I’m a big baldy git now. If I try to run my fingers through my hair, it’s like trying to run velcro through velcro. It just doesn’t work. When I go out in the sun, I have to wear a hat or I end up with a burned bonce. Life giveth, then life taketh away. As Malcolm from Malcolm in the Middle famously said, ‘Life’s a bit pants, innit?’
But baldness doesn’t have to be the end. It can be the start of something great. Perhaps you’ll become a famous game journalist who’s admired and feared by his peers, or you could set your sights a little lower and look at some of the best bald characters in video games for inspiration. Hey, we’ve all gotta start somewhere.
