I used to be strictly materialist and atheist. Now I’m pretty spiritual. Don’t necessarily follow a religion and don’t support bigotry but yeah, I’m fairly spiritual now. This is a recent development and I never thought I’d be here like 5 years ago.

      I’m really internally debating on going vegan again. I was from 12-14 but stopped because everyone in my life would sneak animal products into my food. Now that I’m 25 and out on my own it would be much easier.

        Same! You just have such little control over your food as a child, especially in an unsupportive family. It wasn’t until I moved out, was buying my own groceries, cooking my own food when I stumbled across a philosophy video going through the ethical arguments and I couldn’t argue against of it. Went vegan as a “test” just to see if I could, and here I am ~15 years later. Never going back.

        As with most things, social pressure is the biggest hurdle.
