- You need to buzz your hair.
You need to buzz your hair.
I look in the mirror but I can‘t recognize myself.
Panic rises within me but I swallow it down.
That‘s what I wanted…
20 minutes earlier
“Damn, are we really doing this?“
Doubts and fear start to mix up and give me wonderful flight urge.
But I‘m not disappointing myself again.
Buzzzz Buzzzzzzz
There it goes, the hair I held onto so much.

No, this was not an impulsive drive because of a breakup lol.
I‘ve planned it that way.
I wanted a buzz cut and got one.
I'm going to get weird looks
I'm probably not as good-looking as before anymore
(even tho it‘s not as bad as expected)
And yes, it will take some time to grow back
But it's worth it.
It's going to give me confidence, personal growth and patience.
And the same applies to your creator business:
You need to be okay with standing out.
You'll get some looks, and not everybody will like it.
But the ones who do will become real fans and potential clients.
What do you want more?
You need to embrace failure,
Yes, you'll be criticized and it's going to hurt.
But you can't expect highs without lows, it's simply impossible.
And probably the most important one:
You need to be in it for the long term.
I know… it's exhausting and can be a pain in the ass.
But there are no shortcuts. Great things take time and there is no way around it. Get that shit inside your head.
tl;dr:
get a buzz cut.
lots of love
