To Vegan or Not to Vegan

I want to end the cruelty that factory farming commits upon livestock. That very word alone, livestock, makes me shudder. As if the animals are simply candies in a dish. Hardly that easy to choose and eat though. Slaughtering is a messy business and that's why it's always done behind closed doors, and tours to the general public are never offered. Not willingly anyway.

So, I want to stop eating meat and dairy, and poultry and anything that used to live. I'll continue to eat plants for sure. Okay, only those that are non-root plants. No radishes, or carrots or potatoes. Nothing that destroys the plant if I eat it. I can cut it like leaf lettuce, trim it like grass - not that I'll eat grass but..so there it is. I can eat fruits. Mainly. I like fruits. They're sweet. If I can pick it from a plant and not kill the plant...

Just something I've always been thinking about. How some people in the world can say they love someone and yet cheat on them. I have always believed that if you truly love someone then you'd keep yourself for them and only them. I've had friends that have cheated and they always use the classic "they're never around" "they cheated on me first" and "they're not ready yet" excuses. How are they valid excuses? If they're never around, then tell them you want to spend more time with them. If they cheated on you, then break up with them. If they don't want it yet then wait until they are and then it will be so much better. I don't know, I've never cheated before and I never plan to. Just something that was in my head.

2020 has brought unimaginable damage to everyone.
On a personal level, I have been unable to work, I have lost a loved one, I am dealing with lots of mental heath issues, and so many of my favorite entertainers have now gone to the great beyond. A great athlete, a superb drag queen, my favorite from Glee, and now a superb actor who introduced me to a whole new expanse to the world of superheroes will remain now only in my mind and in the collective consciousness of those who loved them.
2020 will not be cancelled, it will not be ignored, but we must fight and strive for what we believe in. Here's hoping that I am able to hold on, and here's hoping that you can too.

Life is ever changing, and life is fully about change. The bad part is not liking change.
As you grow up, you learn that you have to change. If you plan to try to stay one way forever,
you don't live. You become a slave to your own ways. You will never experience anything new,
and life will past you by. You will ultimately end up being that person, that at the end of their lives,
wishes they had done this or that.
