Yeah, I dunno. I'd been talking about it for a while, a couple months maybe, but it started as a joke.
Someone mentioned if I shaved my head and kept the beard I would look like a psycho. We laughed and I said I would do it, and they were like "yeah, sure, I dare you".
So I mentioned it once or twice since then, still joking around though. But the more I thought about it, the more it felt like time for a change. I was really attached to my hair, so I didn't think I'd actually do it. But 7 years is such a long time for one look.
I hadn't really spoken or thought about it for a couple of weeks and then out of nowhere it just hit me yesterday. I'm doing this. Can't explain why exactly.
Went out, bought the clippers, did the deed.
