“I no longer found myself beautiful”: she shares her fight against the disease© @yoojiuen/TikTok
On TikTok, content creator @yoojiuen has been shocking viewers in recent months with a poignant video series called "Cancer Diaries." In the seventh episode, posted recently, she shares a particularly difficult part of her journey: coming to terms with her physical appearance after losing her hair due to treatment.
With disarming sincerity, @yoojiuen evokes the difficulty of accepting her image without hair, a transformation which, for her, is far from trivial: "It's a very hard job to do on myself. Even looking at myself in the mirror is very difficult." Despite this intimate pain, she slips in a strong and necessary message: "It's ok to be bald." A simple, powerful phrase, which resonates with thousands of people.

Content creator @yoojiuen concludes her post with a word to anyone going through a difficult time: “For those struggling to love themselves right now: You are so much more than what your body defines you to be.”
With her video series "Cancer Diaries," @yoojiuen doesn't just document her struggle. She gives a voice to those who struggle in silence, and reminds us that beauty—true beauty—often begins when we stop trying to control it.
