Nineteen Years Young

Nineteen years is how long it has taken for me to feel confident with my body.

Nineteen years is how long it has taken for me to become Vegan.

Nineteen years on this earth and I haven't accomplished much. I have only ever had one job, I had pretty average grades throughout school and had 'typical' teenage problems that apparently everyone goes through for some reason or another. 

Nineteen years and I know that as of this moment I am happy. I am at University having the time of my life. I am finally able to be full nerd when talking about what I love and have people understand and actually argue about it with me which no one ever did before. I am happy with my body, and confident in who I am because I think I finally know who that is. Not only that but I think I know who I am meant to be when I finish what I'm doing after everything. 

Right now I know that I am Nineteen, blonde, blue eyed, five feet and 8 inches tall. I know that I love film with all my heart and Disney even more than that. I know I'm slightly crazy but who wants to be sane really? I'm big headed and I know that I'm awesome. I'm Vegan. Most Importantly I'm happy and healthy, and finally confident enough to know who I am and be that person. Happy Birthday to me.

Being Vegan

I have recently gone Vegan and whenever it has been brought up I get asked questions or kind of judged for it. Recently I have been told how badly it shall effect my health (even though I don't think I have ever felt as happy and healthy as I do now, on this lifestyle).
It's really simple to be honest, just don't eat any animal products whatsoever. Then everyone and their mother is suddenly concerned about your health and where you are getting your protein from or the never ending list of vitamins that I apparently will be deficient of any day now. Again, I simply say that I have never felt so happy and healthy in my entire life. In which then roll on the many questions about random animal products that I surprisingly that I don't miss, like bacon (which I honestly can't actually remember the taste of). I really thought that I would miss cheese but I don't even think about it. For the most part I didn't like it anyway (for example, I hate eggs) and when I did enjoy the product I couldn't stand the background thoughts that I had about where the product came from.

I am Vegan for the Soul, for the Planet and very lastly for my Body. I can't be happy eating animal products like milk whilst knowing the pain and suffering that the animal went through when she had her calf taken away from her shortly after its birth. The meat and dairy industry is worse for the environment than all the car emissions that are released into the atmosphere are and ever will be at this rate. Finally, I repeat, that I have never felt so happy and healthy in my entire life than I do right now on a vegan lifestyle!

Try it, take the pledge and be Vegan for 30 days and see how amazing you feel in every aspect of your life. For every Vegan one animal's life can be saved. Make a difference. Be the change that you want to see in the world.
