i always hear my friends say that i don't act like a vegan.. cuz apparently vegans are supposed to shove their beliefs down peoples throats.. and i know there are vegan advocates and i applaud those who do it the right way.. however, i don’t go out of my way to advertise that i’m vegan, just like how other people don’t advertise that they eat meat.. they just eat what they want.. and despite how i feel about eating meat, i feel much more strongly about not forcing your beliefs onto other people.. i might not like it when people eat meat, but i have no right to shun them or make them feel uncomfortable for their decisions.. none of my friends are vegan or vegetarian but we go out to eat together all the time and i’m okay with it and they’re okay with it.. if they have genuine questions about me being a vegan, i will gladly answer them.. that being said, this is my lifestyle that i chose without anyone else’s input.. i didn’t ask anyone if they thought i should go vegan or if they thought it was good idea, i just did it.. everyone has their own lifestyle and i’m just living mine without a care for what other people have to say.
