Diving into Veganism

Heylo!

Happy to have you here!! As this is my first blog post, I wasn’t quite sure where to begin. I guess my "About" page covers my background and how my love for creating art and passion for animals developed. So, I’ll start here with how I came into veganism.

It was June 22nd, 2020… or maybe it was the 24th? One of the two. Like many people during the pandemic, I found myself stuck at home, watching more TV than I probably should have. My go-to were documentaries. As I was scrolling through Netflix that day, I stumbled upon a documentary called Game Changers. And that’s where it all changed. After that, I watched What the Health, and part of Dominion—though I still can’t bring myself to watch all of Dominion. I get enough of the images on social media, and honestly, it’s all the same horror.

I don’t remember many details from that day—the documentary, the snippets of information (for some reason the part that stuck in my had was the male responses to the diet - baha), or even who was around me. But what I do remember is that this was the day I went vegan. I remember going through the pantry, fridge, and freezer, tossing out anything and everything that wasn’t clearly labeled vegan. My husband kind of just went along with it. He’s used to my impulsive switches, most of which are short-lived. But for this one, I don’t think either of us had any idea what was coming. And now, four and a half years later, here I am—living the vegan life more dedicated than ever. I know this is a common saying but it is so accurate.. my only regret is not going vegan sooner.
