I would if I could do a decent one. It would just look really patchy and shit though. We can't all have Mexican facial hair genetics.

But to me my beard is more of a social statement than for vanity reasons so I'm okay with it.

What's the statement?

What's the statement?
I've actually spent hours contemplating this during my self discovery sessions, and the closest thing I've come up with is that it's my way of straying from social norms, or the media's perception of attractiveness. Or maybe even as a right of passage. My bear signifies my manliness. It's like a badge of honor, I've earned my beard. I am a man now.
The growing of my beard coincides with the around the same time I ceased my self destructive behavior, and began to live a more positive lifestyle.
In a way it's similar to my baldness. The first time I shaved my head it was also a right of passage. It was also a badge of honor. (although ironically I did not earn it for honorable behavior) although I think now it has evolved to mostly signifying the past and the first thing I discussed early in the post. (norms, media's perception of attractiveness thing)
I realize that to most people my beard and bald head make me more unattractive. (I know this because they tell me. Seriously, I'm constantly reminded about how ugly I am. ) But it's something I've embraced and my beard and bald head have become important aspects of my identity. They have become important components to my perception of self, so the criticism doesn't bother me.
This is not a complete answer. I need to reflect on this further. But I hope this is at least a partially satisfying answer.
