: I wish I had let it grow years ago. I would have been able to enjoy many more years of being a longhair! I'm undecided about what to do with the beard however. Trim it or let it continue to grow. Cutting it off is not an option however. All you younger guys out there, don't do what I did an wait till you're almost 60 and let it grow. Do it now and have many years to enjoy it.
Amen, Mike, I can fully relate to what you just said above!!
I feel similarly re. my own beard (which currently is getting long as a goatee & mustache combo; but I keep it short or even sometimes shaved at the sides) -- yet shaving the beard completely off is never a consideration (the last time that occurred was when I was still in my early 20s and because a job I had at the time insisted I be clean-shaven... 2 years later when I quit that job, I immediately grew my beard back, and it has remained so ever since)!
I also agree 100% with your advise to our younger guys here: grow your hair NOW, don't wait (I didn't achieve ponytail length myself until my 40th birthday, for example)... I love my long hair, too, my only regret in life being that I wish I had grown it out sooner!
Take care, and thanks again for sharing your nice post with us!
