Bearded and ready to go

I have had dreams for many years of letting my beard grow for an entire year, and that is why it feels so good to only be around 4 months from completing this goal.



Has it been a worthy goal? Well, I guess compared to getting a degree or pushing my body to be in peak condition, the beard isn't really worthy. But it has been and will be worth all the days I have had to spend looking so homeless.



I have found that the best and funniest memories are when people go to the extreme and then are able to look back and laugh at it. I grow my beard for my own reasons and I have realized more and more that it has nothing to do with anyone else but myself. It's totally selfish, I know.



This selfishness is good though. Pushing myself to complete a ridiculous goal has brought a certain amount of happiness that i believe can only be found in doing the absurd.



Could I do this If I had a family? Maybe, but I would forsee problems with any wife if your trying to look so dirty. I guess I should say that this is a goal that I wanted to complete before I get married but i hate saying that because that would imply I believe I will ever get married. Supposing I will for sure get married someday seems egotistical to me. People have told me over and over that that is a stupid way to think but I can't really help it. My getting married depends on more than just me. It takes another willing person (preferbly a lady) to agree to being joined with me forever, and I honestly can't just expect that a girl would want to put up with me or would that we would both agree on our feelings for each other.

Marriage is a seperate issue though. The beard is what's important right now and it is mighty.
