So I'm growing a beard now. For the first 2 weeks or so it was just laziness/time constraints. then i got curious about how full it can get and how i will look with it. I've gotten mostly (though not all) positive comments. And honestly I prefer myself without it, but I figure if I'm gonna try it out why not now. Of course this is how i grew my afro in college, but i doubt the beard will go on for 2 1/2 years. We ll see.
