I stopped eating meat when I was about 12 years old and was a vegetarian and vegan for 10 years after that until I decided! I didn’t want to do it anymore and that’s okay 🫶 I’m allowed to make choices that feel right for me, without guilt or shame or moralizing. There’s already enough in life to carry—and I must say that I love to eat :-)

🐮I stopped eating meat 8 years ago. I don’t tell people this, but when it comes up and people ask why I decided to be vegetarian, I say because I love animals and I don’t want to eat them. People get defensive as if I am saying “you obviously hate animals and I am so much better than you because you eat them and I don’t”… The stereotype of especially vegans being obnoxious about their diet and lifestyle is so funny because while I understand some definitely can be, it’s always people who eat meat that can’t help but to criticize and poke fun at me the second I answer their vegetarian related question. I have learned to just not talk about it. Not that I even think about it, it’s just another part of my life that I am accustomed to. I could never kill an animal because I love them and I could never eat one because I don’t want to. That’s it. I don’t care what you do.

🥬i feel good
i kinda was eating this way before cuz meat started to become out of my budget but it’s really been a whole lifestyle and mental change.
i’m not gonna lecture or pressure anyone but since i suffer i don’t want my pleasures to come from the suffering of others either and i know this fully can’t be stopped but it makes some sort of difference.
and i feel lighter

It lends a reflective and wistful tone to written communications imo…

My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
