Micro SF/F by O. Westin
"Will I get strong if I grow my hair long?" the young man asked.
"No," said the witch, "but if you do, you are strong."
"I don't understand."
"Many will tell you to cut it, even if it's not their hair."
"I see. And your short hair..."
"Is how I like it," said the witch.

I enjoy the subversion, tho whole point is do as you wish and don't let other ppl dictate what you should do with your body. That's what I got out of it anyway

⬆️ @MicroSFF this little story feels very much like being a life coach.

My job is to strengthen you to move toward your goal (which may be not at all a goal for me, personally).

What matters is what energises *you*, what fulfills your dreams, what makes you satisfied and vibrant. It's different for each one, and I'm in the flexible encouragement business :-)

It's such a cool skill 😁

@MicroSFF Level 2: Grow your hair _and_ beard!

@julian_beides

Did that, people complained more about the beard than the hair. Eventually cut the hair. Though complaining of facial hair stook around.
