Comments: 
I grew my beard because I felt that I needed to make a step forward in manhood. A beard is a sign of commitment.  It takes patience, time, and effort for your inner beard and outer beard to come together.  And when it does, it is truly a magical moment. People think I'm crazy, but bearding is a spiritual journey as well as a physical. 
 
How do I feel about my beard? It's the weight of manhood growing on your face.
