For a while, his hair had grown past his shoulders—soft, a little wavy, and often falling into his eyes. Some days it gave him a playful, carefree look.
Other days, strangers would mistakenly call him a girl. While he didn’t always mind, it slowly began to bother him more as he grew older.
His parents would ask from time to time if he wanted a haircut, but he always shook his head. The idea of letting go of his long hair made him nervous. It was what he was used to. It felt safe.
But one day, something changed. He looked in the mirror and said, “I’m ready.” At the barbershop, he sat still while long strands of hair fell to the floor. Inch by inch, his familiar look disappeared.
When the final snip was done, everyone was surprised—including him. The short haircut revealed a different version of himself. His face looked brighter, his eyes stood out, and he finally looked like the boy he always was inside.
No more confusion. No more second-guessing.
Just a fresh cut, a big smile, and a brand-new kind of confidence.
