Okay, like a bit of a rant here.

Sunflowers, I’ve had something on my mind. I asked my Literature teacher the other day why the public syllabus for Australian Public schools only includes White British literature. His response was “I feel as if there are options available”. The problem with this is that the term “literature” last I checked did not just define British White literature. I believe literature is everything written by other cultures! Translated texts! There is such a wide sphere of literature I find it appalling that literature of other translations and from other countries are not taught in school. We need diversity! Not only in society but in our schooling curriculum! There needs to be a change to the learning of Australian students. Literature is wide, not restricted and the beautiful words of other countries needs to be explored. And that is my rant for today! If anyone agrees with me please comment. Have a beautiful day my sunflowers ☀️ (also there are probably heaps of grammatical and spelling errors but I’m tired and ranty so who cares)

Gun control (small insight)

I know everyone has different opinions on the matter of whether there should be gun control in the nation. Many people who oppose the easy access and use of guns throughout our country, usually use the phrase that “guns are bad”, and while I personally agree that there should be some form of gun regulation in our country, I don’t agree with that particular phrase. I think people need to understand that it’s the not the guns that are bad or the problem, it’s the people. It is the people who use these guns, the way they use them that inflicts so much pain and conflict in our society. The problem, caused by an extent of people in our country, needs to be focused on. We need to understand and try to solve whatever is happening at the root of the problem, while also making sure the rest of our people are really safe, preferably by putting strong regulations on the circulation of guns in the nation. I know politics is kinda tabooed on tumblr but I thought it was important to see a different yet common perspective on the matter.

It's scary making big changes in your life, isn't it? When I finally decided to go vegan, I was like "NO CHEESE!?!? How will I live?! No Buffalo wings? What do I eat when there's a football game on? What is life without medium rare steak??" 🧀 I was seriously hesitant to give up some things that I absolutely loved and thought I could never live without. 🍕 "Would I be able to handle social situations? Could I control my cravings? How do I even grocery shop now?! Is this the right decision? I don't really know many other vegans," I realized. 🍗 Suddenly it all felt very intimidating. It was like I felt something similar to "buyer's remorse" once I committed. My life was instantly different and everything felt like it flipped upside down. 🔁 I decided to learn all that I could about why people became vegans. Yes, I decided to go vegan before I reaaaally knew the deal, but I trusted there was some convincing reason. 🤓 I knew there was some obvious things like killing animals is bad, but I didn't understand the capacity and depth of it all. 😰 I plunged headfirst into a world of documentaries, articles, YouTube videos, and books about all-things-vegan and...holy shit. 🙈 I will never go back to my old ways again. My mind has been transformed and, in turn, so has my body. My morals have been realigned, my awareness has been heightened, and I feel like I've WOKEN UP. 🌅 I wish I learned sooner. I wish I had been woken up sooner. I wish everyone knew what I know now sooner. If you are considering making some changes in your life, consider learning about what it means to be vegan. 🌎 Soon my blog posts will include step-by-step vegan tips, the best documentaries to watch, my favorite apps, how to shop, and how to talk about it with non vegans aka carnists, pescatarians, or vegetarians. 🥗 I'm not trying to push anything on anyone, just saying what I wish I heard years ago. It's changed my life for the best. 💫 💫 💫 #cravingapeace #realtalk #letstalk #openmindedness #changeneedstocome #changeneedstohappen #learningmakesyoubetter #knowledgeispower #veganblogger #vegantravel #veganlife🌱 #goveganbehappy #veganismsavedmylife #transformyourself #iamtb #crueltyfreeliving (at Lake Hayes Estate)

This is still so upsetting! One death at a school is too many! 17 poor children went to school on a day we celebrate love and lost their lives to such a hateful act 😢😢. I can not imagine sending my daughter to school and her never coming home again. Just breaks my heart thinking of the poor parents whose children lost their life 💔. A spouse who loses their husband is a widow, a child who loses their parents are orphans, but a parent who loses their child has no title. #prayforparklandflorida #prayforthoseparents #changeneedstohappen
