Vegan life

  Since I went Vegan I have been happier with my body and how I know I'm doing something good for the animals and the environment. The biggest thing that makes me proud to be vegan is that I am saving animals every day that I am vegan, I've been vegetarian for around 8+ years and when I realised the cruelty in the dairy and egg industry I couldn't carry on the way I was, I had to cut it out. I can't stand the thought that I am paying somebody to hurt an animal, I can't stand that I funded that. I am fully cruelty free in my diet, and working on (almost there) on being cruelty free with everything. Make-up and other beauty products are the annoying thing but there are some highstreet brands that don't test on animals, and the BodyShop has finally left the hands of L'oreal so I can go back to shopping there (woo!).
  I am vegan firstly for the animals as I do not believe that we have the right to take away any animals life whether it be a fellow human, a cat, a dog, a pig, a cow, a chicken etc. I can't truly say that I love animals whilst putting them through so much pain. Scenario time, as this is always fun, ok so you have a cat that loves to go outside and roam around. If it meowed at you and lead you to the door (this is what my cat does when he wants to go out and the doors are shut) you would let it out no? You would do that because you want to grant your friend's (your cat's) wish to go outside and live its life. However, many people draw the line when a cow looks longingly at the open pasture as its baby gets taken away from it just days (if they're lucky) after it has been born. We shouldn't be drawing lines and taking away the freedom of some animals and not others. For the post part humanity takes care of the animals that they deem fit for human compassion and the others, well, everyone eats them because 'but, bacon'. Stop drawing your stupid non-existent lines!
Secondly I am vegan for the planet, if people stopped or even simply slowed down their meat and dairy consumption so much land would become free space, there would be so many less pollutants in the air and our oceans. The Oceans are dying, its a sad sad fact that honestly makes me cry if I think about it a little too long. The meat and Dairy industry puts more pollutants out into the world than the entire motor vehicle industry do. It's crazy, absolute madness.
  Lastly, I am vegan for myself as I know that I am treating my body the way it should be, as in not a grave yard. I feel healthier, the look of body doesn't change unless I eat but that's because I'm eating so duh, of course it would do that, I'm not as tired as I used to be, and I have so much more peace of mind about my own doings.

   The only thing that bugs me is that people like to say I'm wrong, or being judgemental for telling them facts. I was working and one of my co-workers found out that I was Vegan (she's new so hadn't questioned my food choices yet) and as soon as she realised her first question was why. To which I replied 'because I don't want to hurt animals', her reply (joke or not I couldn't tell) was 'but you drink water and fish live in water. So, you're drinking their home'. At the end of our conversation, she said 'But one person won't make a difference anyway'. Please, somebody help this person. One person can make a difference, I don't understand the mentality. I would say that I'm kind of a pessimist when it comes to most things but when it comes to veganism and the welfare of animals I become so positive about how you, person reading this, can make a difference with small changes in your diet. Instead of picking up a bottle of cow's milk pick up Almond milk or oat milk, instead of buying chicken buy tofu. Don't let the industry funded health organisations brainwash you. If you don't believe me do your own research. It's truly eye opening.

Vegan positive vibes to all that have stuck to the end. If you are Vegan yay! If your not please consider making changes to your diet, you don't need to do it all at once but gradual changes towards veganism are good, and before you know it you won't have anything else to change. Don't listen to the haters, listen to your heart.

Safe, Happy, In Love

You make me feel safe,
I don't want to run away no matter how scared I get.
I know I love you because of that.
I don't want to run away from the people that I love, the people that I truly care about.
The people that I know it's silly to think that they would leave.

When your arms are around me the rest of the world melts away.
It's just us in the void that is my mind.
It used to just be me but when you wrap your strong arms around me,
I'm not alone anymore.

You make me happy,
You aren't the only thing but you have certainly contributed to me being the happiest I've ever been.

I love the way you smile at me, and kiss my forehead
I love the way your hair feels when it's just been washed
I love the way your eyes change in different lights
I love the way you make silly jokes that make me roll my eyes and smile
I love the way you let me waffle on for hours about things you don't understand
I love the way you listen and really help, you don't look down on me for not understanding myself
I love everything about you, even the annoying things
I wouldn't change a thing about you because to me your perfect

I don't know what's going to happen in a year, but right now I'm just happy that you're here.

Should I say it?

I want to tell him. I need to tell him.
But what if it doesn't go how I want it to
What if he doesn't feel the same way
What if it scares him
Will it ruin everything?
Saying I love you and truly meaning is what I need to do.
As much as I go over it in my head and laugh when it doesn't go my way,
I don't really want that to happen.
I can see myself saying it, and
your reply simply being 'What?'
I can see myself blushing, and
you just laughing.
I want you to say it back after all that.
But what if you don't.

I feel like you love me, should I take the leap and say it first?
