You are a wise man. I really enjoy reading your posts.
You are correct, this is your beard and it's the only one you get. Learning to accept what you have is a big step in the beard journey. My story is different then yours, but I also had to go through a similar process of acceptance and I understand that feeling. I'm glad you are happy with it, because it looks good on you.
