Has been really exhausting. I feel like i've been saying that so much lately. Today is Mother's Day. My sister's being a real pain about going to Whole World, right now. This brings me to my new announcement: I have, since last Sunday, proclaimed myself an official vegan. No, not a vegetarian, a vegan. Of course, this new announcement brought a whole new round of opinions from everyone.
My parents, who are skeptical but supportive. My friends, who are extremely worried about this change, pressuring me to indulge in some sort of lean meat or eggs or milk. And my boyfriend, who's really upset about it. The first time I told him he said, "Baby, please, no." I tried to explain why, but he finally just sighed in defeat. People are full of opinions for how they think everyone should live their life. They never step back and acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, those people have it all well under control.
It all started with a book. How many times can history say that? Countless, i'm sure. In my case, it was a book from my mother and sister. A simple one they bought me to encourge me to lose weight the HEALTHY way, and not the drastic way. Not that they ever read the book themselves, save for a few skimmed pages. Therefore, when I came down the stairs with a white face, gripping the book in my hand like a lifeline, they were surprised to hear me say those three words : "I'm. A. Vegan."
