Okay so I haven't written in two weeks. Guess this is why I have never started a blog before. Please forgive me. I always forget how exhausting it is to begin working full-time again when you haven't done it in a while.
I'm still working doing my street canvassing thing. I really do like it. Some days it is very cold. But the time is passing quicker the more I do it. I feel like pretty soon I will feel more able to actually get stuff done after a day of work. I notice myself getting sloppy and lazy. Not hanging my clothes up, not making my bed, not cooking, not getting back to people I should be getting back to. Basically...I become a disorganized mess for a few weeks. So I apologize to all those affected by this.
I'm very anxious. For many reasons. Mainly being that simple little question, "What is the meaning of my life?" But! I'm also happy for many reasons. I went to see the movie 127 Hours and it really put things into perspective. Whenever I feel grumpy or frustrated with my life I'm just like, "Hey! At least I'm not amputating my own arm with a dull knife!" (SPOILER ALERT) haha. Whatever. It's a true story. So...no surprises.
I've started re-reading the book that made me go vegetarian. "Eating Animals" by Jonathan Safran Foer. Not that I think everyone in the world needs to go vegetarian but I do think everyone should read it. I think many people are afraid to read it. Probably because they already have an inkling of what they would find out. Which I get. And I don't necessarily blame people for it. Because here's the thing...once you start making changes...you start to feel hypocritical if you don't make other changes. For example...I went vegetarian. Soon after that I began eating vegan. But then it's like....if you aren't going to eat animals then you probably shouldn't wear them...and then if I'm so worried about animal rights...shouldn't I worry about human rights? So then I street canvass to help children in "developing" countries. But then I shouldn't buy anything made in factories in those same countries because it's all being made by the very children I'm trying to help....see where I'm going with this?
So I get why people don't want to know. But don't you feel as a consumer you should know? Don't you think you owe to the people and the animals affected by your decisions to educate yourself?
I dunno. I guess I think we do. But that's just me.
One of these days I'll actually get around to talking about cooking. I promise.
Please be patient with me. I'm in the midst of a quarter life crisis.
