Tom, so much for always being able to count on love and support from our families, but I guess we already know that thought is a farce.

Something I've been noticing a lot lately regarding all types of topics is that those that are for something tend to say kind light hearted statements. Those against often speak loud, harsh and angry. I think that shows they don't have something more compelling to share and resort to fighting words... oh, and they always think they're right.

If your beard were stopping you from getting your dream job or somehow putting you in danger, we could see someone passing on the advice to let it go. But all they had was their own negative opinion, which tells more about who they are than who you are.

In your case, you're successful, happy and adored by more people than you probably could have ever imagined and even more so BECAUSE of the beard.

"Beard on" our friend!
