It’s world vegan day 💚🥑🍏 so I thought I’d share a bit about my vegan story…

I went vegan about 6 years ago (the start of 2015). It was a kind of spontaneous decision after watching one bored afternoon. I wasn’t an animal lover (I still don’t feel very connected to animals and get scared easily lol), but the movie’s message really clicked with me and my mindset completely flipped. I didn’t want to participate in such a harmful industry and decided to stop eating meat and dairy the next day. Giving up fish took a few more months, but I always intended to be fully vegan so I got there eventually.

As the years have gone on, my “identity” as a vegan has changed. In the beginning, it was a glaring part of me, the reason why I started this Instagram, a big adjustment.

Now, it’s more of a low hum, a subject I’m still very much passionate about but not as tied to as I once was, back when I was terrified of making a mistake or being seen as an “improper vegan.”

Being vegan is a choice, one I make every day, and it should never feel forced for the sake of the label.

I’d love to know how you went vegan (if you’re vegan)! Let me know.🙂🤗⬇️

Also, I just posted a YT vid about my week of workouts when marathon training if you’re interested in how my training is going! Link in bio.

Thx for reading my self-indulgent caption~😆
