Why did I grow my beard?
Well, to be honest, it was just a matter of being lazy and not wanting to shave anymore. I'm pretty young -- 23 -- and I haven't been able to grow a beard or any kind of facial hair for very long. After the first week, I looked at my new facial hair, which wasn't much to be honest, and became curious. My friends all said that it looked silly, but I decided to got through with it, and after a month, I had a full beard. I'm very proud of it, and it's only gottten thicker and better looking after a year and a half.

How do I feel about my beard?
I'm very proud of my facial hair. It gives me something to do when I'm thinking or just bored, and it loves to be scratched. All my friends say that it makes me look more handsome and mature. I never had a very strong chin, but my beard makes my jaw seem more substantial and well-rounded.
