UPDATE 9 WEEK

Looking the mirror I can not say I see a change from the previous week to this. But it should be happening. I know for some details. The first is that my little son (he have only eighteen months), whenever I raised him on my arms, put his hands on my beard, his little hands dirty of ground or icecream. Another detail is that the touch the beard feels denser. I suppose the hairs are mixing, interacting between each other, giving more structure to the beard. My beard is curly. And I can see the hair curling . I can't see longer, but maybe with some volume. And the dark color helps to give an effect of higher density. Obviously I am talking about the rest of my beard except of my left cheek. There is, certainly,  another process. The density is not the same. There, the hairs behave differently. Not intermingle, not have structure, even not curling both. It is another beard. Sometimes, I feel a bit discouraged because is so different from the other. I guess it's like when someone envy the colleague's beard, but in this case I am envying to myself . In these moments I want to go back. Trim a little to compensate densities and colors. But I know that makes no sense. This cheek will never be the same than the other. Is my second beard. So I should move on. Give it the opportunity to go their own way. To their credit, I can say that unlike the right cheek, the left has follicles that are starting to grow hair, and that hair give me hope. That they will mature. They'll be part of a structure. Which in turn they are to be mixed with the others. In short, they will help fill what still looks a bit empty. The other thing I should mention is the stache. This week has been very lively in meetings and parties, it has received the best comments. It is stealing so much attention that people think I am growing a stache, not a beard. It's curious. As if they did not see the rest of hair that is on my face. I guess the effect of my right cheek, that still does not give a feeling of complete beard, is what generates it. Anyway, I am enjoying the success of my stache. And the last detail that allows me to feel growing my beard is the soul patch, that has begun to get on above the chin hair. I guess later will make a symbiosis, a mix and produce some beard phenomenon. If you have come this far, thanks for your attention. You see, I'm enjoying this journey, even with their bad times. image
