I took my kids to karate and trick or treating this year for the very first time. People didn't think I'd do it. I saw it in their eyes, simply because I'd failed to do it year after year.
When they found out I was a vegan, people started to kick me down again.
"Good luck being a vegan in this place," they said.
"Just eat some fucking meat," they said.
Well, if I had £1 for the amount of times ignorant people have said that, I'd be very, fucking rich.
How about: "Wow, that must really tough, well done you." instead of all that goddamn scorn you seem to be carrying around?

Like I mentioned in my last post, people really don't seem to like it when you start taking care of yourself. I'm a vegan, I practice Ashtanga yoga, and I don't drink, therefore that makes me a perfectly acceptable target for abuse.
Yeah, people really don't give a shit. I get that. And why the fuck should they? My eating habits are none of their goddamn business! However, it's funny that they seem to care just enough to snipe at me with hateful comments, when if they were to sit down and actually asked me why I chose to become a vegan, I would happily tell them:
Yeah, it has been really tough, actually. Contrary to what you might think about veganism, or what you might have heard in the media about idiots chaining themselves to trees, I didn't actually become a vegan for the fucking hell of it. It was actually a really tough decision. I was going through some rough shit and eating a plant based diet has been my way of coping with it. Sometimes in life, you have to make these difficult choices between staying ill and getting better. In the 10 weeks that I've have been a vegan, my family is healthier and I am healthier, happier and stronger. Also, like I just said, I took my kids trick or treating for the very first time. Now, that might not sound like much, but for me, it was a huge step, and one which I will be repeating in the future, and who knows, maybe I'll even manage to eat some of the goddamn sweets.
