My Own Little Collection

The Happy VEGAN

So as a little introduction: I first wrote this post for a Goodreads group I'm in where we talk about our problems. This group is basically like a diary. :-)

But I was a bit proud of what I wrote there and wanted to share it in here, as a little inspiration, maybe? :-)

This work, "My Own Little Collection", is made for poems and some deep thought. And this kind of has some deep thoughts. I cut out he important part, the one I wanted to share. Let's start! ;-)

The Happy VEGAN

I'm now vegan since the 10th March and I'm loving it. I have multiple reasons for it which include my health, the health of animals and the fact of growing animals just to kill them and feed of them. How sick is this??!

At the beginning I began my research on the internet. I searched for food-ideas and what people thought about it and how to start it...

I came across many people who said they feel happy and much better than before, clean. I thought maybe it was just an illusion. But no. I have to say I feel like I have more energy and I'm less sleepy (I still sleep way too little and because of that I'm still sleepy:D). Also I feel more light after eating!

I have my theory about the happy thing other than the fact that you're doing something good, obviously.

If you're "bad" again, that means for me I think about my current situation and what I don't have, what I miss. I'm sad of certain relationships that don't work out the way I want them to be. Or my self-confidence is broken, because of how I look in the mirror. (Normally I have a pretty high self-confidence.!) I also think about the universe and how we're just living shortly. Before and after us was and will be so much time! We're just this tiny, little piece of a whole. And with that my mind wanders further and further and I feel unimportant and like it's not relevant if I jump out of a window right now or not. And then I have to stop myself from thinking, what is pretty hard.

But with the vegan-thing going on, I have something else to think about, to be happy about. And that is my theory! I think about all the new exciting food I wanna try, about youtubers and videos I wanna watch and about how proud I am of myself, because I never thought I would and could make it this far. 'Why' do you ask? It started out as an experiment. It still is one, but I don't feel uncomfortable with the idea of continuing this for a long, long time. :-)

There are still days where I'm in this 'f*ck everyone" mood, but it's okay. Everyone has these!

I don't know if I wrote about my headache in here, but I have headache pretty often and my mom and I are practically touring doctors to find out why.

I got asked by my mom and dad last week if they were getting better. At first I couldn't even answer because I didn't pay attention to them. The day of filling out a headache journal were over and so I didn't know.

So I tried to think of the last days and weeks. Have I had headache? When, for how long and how intense?

I came to the conclusion that they have to be getting better, because I only had light headaches about 3 times a week! (there was a time not long ago I had them every day)

The really strong and intense ones occured about once a week, but now they're about once every 2 weeks or so. Like I said, I don't write it down anymore.

There may be a different reasons behind this, but with all the happiness (or simply satisfaction) surrounding me and my headache getting less I think I'm right with my speculation.

What do you think? Be sure to leave your opinion and vote if you agree or like what I'm saying. :-)
