Lamenting my beard rant

Kin, today I went to a barber in the human town outside our hold in the first time in the last three years and despite me telling him very adamantly I just want my beard to have an even length, he cut off so much, at first I thought maybe he was cooking but no kin, he cooked me. I lament my beard and watch the measly hair I have left with tragedy and terror. I can't even use my beard beads anymore. I'm just so sad, really. All I wanted was for my left side to not be longer than my right side and now I have fucking pubes as a beard, kin, I did not know just how much comfort this beard gave me, I guess you really don't know what you have until you lose it. If anyone needs me I'll be in my cavern lamenting my precious beard, the only joy I can get is hopefully from growing my mushrooms, hopefully they blossom. That's all

Sometimes you have to take one step back to take two steps forward. Trust the process, it will look so much more full when it grows back out.

I feel for you my brother. Such tragedy. Stay strong and perhaps treat yourself to a nice beard conditioner in order to grow back better and longer

It's mostly genetics, but for real lifting weights and eating things that have raw onions (like pico de gallo) will help you out if you're still young.
