☕️ vegetarianism/veganism 👀
i’m so sorry i’m answering so late, i’ve been in the middle of packing and going back to the city i study in, hope you’re still sort of interested in my thoughts. 🌻
veganism and i, we have a long story, and a quite complicated one. see, i used to be vegetarian for a year and then a vegan for another two years, and then i had to quit. there were reasons for this, and not everything was under my control, so i hope there’s no judgement on your part (or on anyone’s who happens to read this).
i never stopped believing in the right cause which is being promoted by vegans, and i’ll always think this is a right way to live, at least for me. i feel at peace when my diet is plant-based, i truly feel like it’s something which was meant for me. i came back to veganism a little over two weeks ago, and i’ve been feeling my best, both mentally and physically.
now, i used to be kinda judgemental and very in-your-face about it with anyone who wasn’t vegan, but i don’t practice this type of behaviour anymore. maybe those things which made me quit it once did a good job at making me more humble and at understanding that everyone’s situation is different, and sometimes it’s simply not possible.
i don’t preach about veganism anymore; if anyone wants to hear my thoughts and they’re genuinely willing to listen and learn, that’s great, i’m always down for that. but unless i’m asked to, i don’t really talk about it. and that keeps me peaceful, to be honest. food is a very intimate topic, and, after all, it all comes down to the individual choice. yes, i hope for an all-vegan world, but i also understand that i’ll never live long enough to witness it. it used to make me super depressed, but now i’m okay with this knowledge; while not being able to change the whole world, i’m changing my own little one by doing things which make me happier, veganism being one of them.
send me ☕ & a topic, and i’ll give you my opinion
