As many of you know, I've had perpetual stubble for about a year now. But every once in a while I like to remember what my face looks like. So I shaved yesterday.
First of all, I hate shaving. It's never comfortable. Secondly, I look about four years younger with no facial hair. So although I'm intrigued by my face right now, I'm not entirely sure how long the clean-shaven thing will last. My roommates say that I look like the Daniel they remember. No one at work has said anything, so I'm not sure if they've even really noticed. The determing factor will probably be not whether I like the way it looks, but how often I really want to shave.
Also, I feel like my face has changed shape a little. It seems wider than it used to be. I guess I finally filled out or something. Ah, late-onset puberty... gotta love it.

When my brother was 12, he was pale and skinny with big glasses and he looked like that all the way through college, despite hours of smearing Miracle Gro where he wanted a beard and working out in an effort to bulk up. Suddenly, when he was 26, his neck doubled in size, his beard grew, and he started to look like-- dare I say it?-- a grown-up. Perhaps this too will happen to you.
