So, due to the overwhelming response, I will be growing the beard back. Thank you all for voting!
I'm actually pretty happy with that, considering i was missing the beard about 3 minutes after I shaved it off. I'm still having to deal with the gray, tho. I'm not bothered that I have gray hair, it's what it represents.
As some of you know, I spent over a decade cocooned away, not doing much of anything. Although I'm 41, I still feel like I'm 31 — until I see all that gray. It reminds me that I wasted 10 years: not dating, not falling in love, not living, just hiding.
So now i'm trying to make up for lost time :-)
I decided to keep a visual record of how long it takes to grow the beard back (inspired by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bigkid's same photo record).
Here's day 1
