The blogs I write are never usually whats going on inside my head.
So here it is.
About 5-6 months ago someone told me to become vegetarian, and being the pushover I am I stopped eating meat. This honestly didnt change my views on things at all. and quite frankly i'm not much of an animal person, birds freak me out.
The only animals I like are dogs and cows, and thats the way its always been, I am not all of a sudden one with nature just because i've stopped eating meat. and if people didnt eat meat there would be to many animals in the world.
So I guess the reason why I am still vegetarian is out of fear and guilt.
This is nothing to do with the animals, the only reason I became vegetarian in the first place is because i was scared the person who told me to wouldnt approve of me if i didnt, and i wouldnt be suprised if he actually didnt approve of me.
and the only reason why i still am not eating meat now is because im scared other people wont approve of me, and still, i wouldnt be suprised if they wont.
but the thing is, people chose to do and think what they want. I don't want to be a vegetarian, and im sure other vegetarians dont want to be either. i'm losing me protein, I dont feel as energetic, i'm sleepy, my skin is turning weird. and i enjoy eating chicken. And i havent eaten it for half a year. And i am going to start eating it again because i want to.
I'm not going to try and impress people by showing them i can live without meat, ofcourse i can. but i dont really want to. And i want to do what i want, and i want to say what i want, and i want to have my own opinions. and other people should say their own aswell.
some things get forced upon people and its not fair.
i also hate how people judge other people for eating meat. what the hell is with that. i have read so many things with vegetarians saying meat eaters are 'monsters' or 'murderers'. and no its not just judd. its plenty of people. Some people just don't eat meat because its the 'cool' thing to do these days.
I don't need people giving me guilt trips.
And don't just assume i'm wrong because of my spelling mistakes, or poor grammar. because i know exactly what i'm talking about. i may not be as smart as most. but i know what i'm saying.
nobody should let other people try and change you. or try and make you feel guilty for the things you do. just be who you are. theres no better way.

You're a beautiful person Ceri, don't let anyone change who you are. Stay strong :D:)
I'd be lying if I said this didn't piss me off on multiple aspects.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like I'm the one that made you go veg, but it wasn't me.
If you're not doing it for the animals then don't do it.
There would NOT be too many animals in the world if no one ate meat.
I highly doubt that there's vegetarians who wish they weren't.
Of course you don't feel as energetic etc if you're not providing yourself with what your body needs, you haven't even tried tofu and stuff.
I wouldn't touch a chicken as they freak me out to, doesn't mean I don't care for it's well-being, I too enjoy the taste of chicken...
If you go shopping you can find vegan "chicken" nuggets and burgers and something called "seitan" which is basically identical to chicken.
But you should never just change like *that*, you have to figure it out for yourself first... I'm only trying to help people start to think about what actually goes on.
Plus it seems like you seem to be doing the whole "go meat-eaters" to despite me because you felt I personally insulted you about the abortion comment, but really... I'm not going to think of you any lesser than I ever did, I don't hate the rest of your friends and they eat meat and I can deal with that.
However if you need inspiration to gain passion against animal cruelty to feel proud to be veg I have lots of stuff I can help you with.
But you're choice... look within.
I love you Ceri... No matter what your diet be.
xxx.
Also, well proud of you for lasting it out 6 months... You saved 50 lives... better than most people can say they've done.
judd that 'go meat eaters' was clearly a joke. well yeah it was me getting back at you for the abortion thing. theres no doubt about that, i did take it as a personal attck, but i take everything as a personal attack lol.
ReplyDeleteand its fine. had a bbq last night still couldnt bring myself to eat it.
this blog was not a personal attack against you either.
but i will admit you caused the blog.
it wasnt meant to sound like you turned me veg, i know it wasnt you.
and this wasnt meant to cause an arguement either. it was pretty much me being pissed off with myself for being such a pushover. and telling other people not to be a pushover
and being vegetarian is a perfect examply of how i am a pushover.
Wow, I enjoyed reading every word on this post and I could relate to it. I completely understand and agree.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of this quote I once came across, Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
hahaha im glad one of my blogs interest some people :)
ReplyDeletedayum girl, honesty. i like it.
