Just found your journey, and reading your posts, you seem like a very intelligent man! I'm also impressed with your beard, and the quality of your posts and photographs. Really top notch! I especially love your last post, when you talk about accepting yourself because I think that is one of the hardest things for ANYONE to do, inside and out. Especially for bearded people, who I feel are constantly scanning around to see how they compare, but when you realize it is not the beard that makes you who you are, or anything physical, its what attitude you exude is how people will see you. I think you personify this because you truly seem like an amazing man, with a beautiful beard! I'm excited to see your progress moving into the future, and tip my hat to you. Keep on growin! and remember to have fun!! Its called a journey for a reason! dead
