I don’t know what the purpose of this post is but god, I just feel so hopeless and sad for animals. I constantly think of the animals that at this very moment that are next in line. They never knew love and never will. They’ve been treated like shit their whole life and are about to have their throats slit open. The fear they must feel is heartbreaking.

I was a vegetarian for most of my life. I started at 11 and only just recently at the age of 30 made the jump to vegan. I feel stupid for not doing it sooner. I use to think being vegan would be so hard but it’s really not. My excuse for not making the jump was due to my love of cheese but that’s no excuse. It’s funny now, the thought of cheese grosses me out.

I just spent the weekend with my fiancé’s family for the fourth and they asked me questions about why I’m vegan and I explained how I do it for the animals. I don’t agree with the cruelty and they just don’t feel that way. They think animal products are necessary for health. I explained that being a vegan can be a very healthy lifestyle and they just think I’m crazy lol. They believe all the things that they were taught when they were young are true, like how milk is the only way to get calcium. They’re all such sweet people and I’m a very timid person so I’m not going to argue but I don’t know. Even my fiancé, he has such a good heart and is a good human but he doesn’t make that connection either. He is very open to eating vegan at home which I love, but yeah he doesn’t understand it.

And it’s the same with my own family and friends. I just don’t get how people don’t make that connection. I don’t know I guess at least I wish people had gratitude for the animals that they’re eating but, it feels like they don’t because there’s such a disconnect. (Which is not their fault, because that’s just how they were raised).

I feel so sad and like the world will never change. People are so stuck in their ways. Cows, pigs, chickens, etc, will never matter. People just don’t care and I don’t understand that. There are such good humans who don’t give a second thought about eating meat.

Sorry for the ramble. Do you guys ever have this crushing feeling?

Hey there :D I’m getting married this upcoming fall.

I’m struggling to figure out what hairstyle would work best with my dress. My dress is “Jersey” by Justin Alexander. I’ll include photos of it that I found online.

I have my hair trial coming up and not 100% sure what to do. For context, I have long hair that is slightly on the thinner side.

Thank you in advance :)

I was looking at Walmart and there are so many affordable options. I just don’t know how to pick or what qualities I should be looking for.
