Sometimes as a vegan this world feels really dark and really heavy and really lonely.
And I'm not going to lie, I feel like I was working myself into an early grave because a part of me didn't want to be around all this suffering anymore. How can people I love, even my family, contribute to this pain and suffering?
Seeing what we do to the animals and the people every single day, it's heavy. It's heavy on my heart.
And I found through this Vegan Squad family that I think I can do this. I think I can be here.
You guys have encouraged me. You've all coached me. It’s been a team effort.
It took all of you, not any one of you. It took all of you to get me to this point where I can actually love myself and want to be here.
So I want to give you guys a shout out and just say thank you all for making my life worth living.
Thank you for making this the best thing I've ever been a part of in my life. And I would not want to do it without all of you.
So thank you for encouraging me to love myself and try to make this world a better place while we're still here.
I’m grateful for all of you. What’s one thing you are grateful for this week?
