And So It Begins

So I've begun the process of growing a beard. It seems weird to me that I'm actually old enough to do this and have it maybe look good. It's something I've always wanted to do though, as weird as that might seem. I think every guy has to try facial hair at least once in their lifetime. It's kind of like a mark of passage into adulthood. I remember as a child I looked at guys with facial hair and I was always very intrigued by it. So I figure now is as good a time as ever, especially at art school where people couldn't care less (and where at least a quarter of the male population has beards anyway), to try it.







I trimmed the neck area for the first time tonight. I know some of you might think that that is an overshare, but personally I feel like that is important to note because it means I've committed to growing it. It's like saying "I've started something that I must finish." At least, that's how it feels. I just hope my cheeks grow in soon.
