I started my vegan journey A month ago now and I never felt better. I love that I am longer participating in systems I exploit and torture kill animals. I was vegetarian before I became vegan but A long time of deep thought and guilt I decided to become vegan. A few weeks ago. I was grocery shopping and I went to Frozen vegetable aisle where I saw some morning Star vegan chicken nuggets. I was randomly craving some childhood nostalgia food and I loved them as a kid so I thought I would try them. It was honestly very scary. Hell they tasted exactly like chicken. I was having a mental health day eating my vegan junk food winding down after a long week. But I felt bad for eating the vegan meat because of how much it tastes like chicken. I don't know if other vegans ever feel bad for eating vegan meats. I think the reason why I feel bad for eating the vegan meat is because even though I've given up meat, I am eating something that looks and tastes and smells exactly the same as meat mimicking my old harmful ways.... I don't know. Maybe it's foolish of me to feel this way but I would To hear input of my fellow vegans in the subreddit 💚

My friend once I have a kid and I don't know how I should feel....

Long story short my friend Who have been great friends with for over a Year wants to have a child and I don't know how I should feel. We were both to Antinatalist. We both agreed that we did not want to bring children into this world and we were both planning on getting vasectomies .We would have even joke about getting vasectomies together on the same day lol (I still am antinatalist) His reasons were at the time for wanting to not have children was because he was financially poor and had poor mental health along with PTSD.

. Recently he's become more financially successful to the point where he's been able to move out of the state and even get his own place with his wife. And for the past few months he's been very happy with life and he called me the other day and told me that he And his wife plan on having a kid

. I had to pretend to be excited for him and happy but I was not filling those emotions at all. As bad as this may sound, I really hope he does not have a kid. I don't want to say this but a part of me does not know If I can truly be friends with someone Who wants to bring a child into this cruel world.

maybe I'm selfish. Maybe I'm the problem I don't know. My views on antonatalism have not changed. I am still antenatalist. He clearly is not. I believe that he is making the decision purely unhappy emotions because for most of the time I've known him he has struggled severely with depression, bipolar disorder and PDSD. And him and his wife have so many arguments in almost have split up so many times within the past year alone. I genuinely do not understand how someone who has gone through as much as he has in life just because he's life has gotten better lately. Wants to bring a child into this world. I do not know if I can continue to be friends with him because of this and I don't know what I should do.
