various thoughts

It's almost 3 months now (will be on the 5th) and I have to say that it has honestly been one of the easiest things I've ever done. If I think about or dwell on it I want to kick myself for not doing this earlier but for whatever reason, none of which I am proud of, I wasn't ready. And I've seriously never felt better physically, and considering I have barely exercised for nearly 3 weeks now (will be remedying that immediately!!), probably being the longest I've gone without exercising for a good couple of years at least, then I am personally completely amazed about how peppy and full of energy I am feeling.

I discovered an interesting site this morning, via facebook actually. It's great having "friended" many of the vegan freaks as it can help lead me to more interesting information and I'm definitely still in the "devouring all the information I can get my hands on" stage at present. I definitely want to do more eventually in terms of fighting for animal rights, but just don't feel worthy yet as I feel there is still so much to learn. What I didn't realise when I first decided to go vegan, was that going vegan is really only the first step and there is so much more to do. Anyway, the site is here and I am quite keen to check out the place in real life when we move to Melbourne and volunteer there and all.

I know it's only been (not quite) 3 months, but I honestly can't imagine life any other way. I really do feel like I'm finally doing what I always should have done. Having decided to stop calling myself a vegetarian a while back even though I didn't eat meat because it felt so hypocritical, I guess I've know for a couple of years that this is what I had to do, but doing it alluded me. I wish I knew more back then, but well, you can only work with what you know, and once you know better, you do better. You can't "unknow" something once you know it, and knowing what I know now, there is just no way in the world that I could ever knowingly eat or consume another animal product as long as I live.
