For as long as anyone could remember, this young boy had long, flowing blonde hair.
It was soft, shiny, and reached well past his shoulders—often tied in a ponytail or left loose in natural waves. Everywhere he went, people admired it. Some even complimented his parents on their “beautiful daughter.”
At first, it was funny. A harmless mix-up. But over time, the comments started to bother him. No matter what clothes he wore or how he acted, people just saw the hair—and made assumptions.
One day, he looked in the mirror and said he was ready.
