Thank you! Yeah, apart from the book, I have been trying to write a lot of poetry (including contests, and work on my studying and thesis! I'll try to recover from the stress soon.

If you intend to publish, go for it! Don't mind if your writing isn't good the first time. A lot of the poems I had to edit and re-edit, but it is important to write the substance of what you want to say, even if it's not as you intend to on the first try.

As for the beard, thanks! I actually was not trying to grow my hair or beard, but with exams and poetry and all that, I got lazy and did not take care of how I look haha. I need to trim it down soon. I suppose I have been blessed with beard; although I tend to hate it. Routine care is not my forte haha
