For a long time, he avoided getting his hair cut. The sound of clippers, the idea of sitting still, and the fear of losing something familiar always made him nervous.
His hair had grown past his shoulders, soft and straight, and over time, people began to mistake him for a girl. Strangers would say “she” or “your daughter,” and while he didn’t always correct them, it started to bother him more and more.
Still, the thought of getting a haircut felt scary. Every time someone suggested it, he shook his head and held onto his long strands like a safety blanket.
But one day, he surprised everyone—especially himself. With a deep breath and a brave nod, he sat in the salon chair and asked for a short haircut.
As the hair fell to the floor, inch by inch, a different version of him began to appear. When the cut was done, the mirror showed a clear, confident face. His jawline was more visible, his eyes brighter, and the expression staring back at him was unmistakably him.
This time, no one called him a girl. No confusion, no second guesses.
He didn’t just get a haircut. He faced a fear—and came out looking exactly how he wanted to.
