I'm vegan but I'm not...

Well, I have been thinking about this a lot since everyone who knows I'm vegan told me the same: "You are vegan? But you're not skinny". So, I wanted to point out some things that not all vegans do/are.

I'm vegan but I'm not...

• SKINNY

I still enjoy eating cupcakes and chocolate. We don't live of salads and veggies, we can eat everything that an omnivore can, we have fake "meats" (that I actually don't like) and we also have Gary (vegan cheese). So if you want to go vegan to lose weight or to be fitter, you'll probably have to watch out your diet. 

• A HEALTH FREAK

Okay, I will give you a point for this because there are lots of vegans who watch their diets, weigh their food and only have "healthy treats". That's totally fine for me but I'm just not one of those people! If I want to have a vegan brownie, I will have it, no regrets. If I crave salt, oil or nuts, I will have them. I'm not afraid of food but I try to give my body all the nutrients it needs to function.

• AN ACTIVIST

I know that, as a vegan, I should do more for the poor animals who are suffering and I try to but I'm not an activist. I don't go to any demonstrations nor I'm a volunteer. I understand I should do more and sometimes I feel guilty about it but I can't devote my life to animals (even if I want to, and I really want to).

• TRYING TO "CONVERT" YOU

Yes, I may have told my friends and family about the benefits of going vegan and also recommended them some documentaries, nevertheless, that doesn't mean I'm talking them into being vegan, I just want them to know that eating meat it's not as healthy as they might think and that they actually don't need it to get protein or to build muscles!

• A HIPPIE

Again, there must be some vegans who are hippies and that's totally fine, everybody can be whoever they want to be. It's just no my case, I still enojy watching T.V and living in an apartment.

• DISCRIMINATING YOU

Lots of people think that vegans are always pointing out what's wrong with their diets and it might be true, but we are not thinking that you are less of a person for eating animals, we just think that you are eating an anmial who had to die for being in your plate. But, in my opinion, that's not discriminating.

Are you vegan? Have you ever considered going vegan? I hope you liked it and don't forget to leave a comment!

My world, your world

Hello! As this is my first entree, I would like to present my blog. However, I won't publish here often nor take it as a real blog because this is a way of writing my feelings and daily struggles. Probably no one will read this and that's fine with me but if you are reading this little blog and you think you have some similar struggles, don't doubt it and comment them with me, maybe I can help or at least understand what you are going through.
I think this will be like a dairy to me, where I can truly be myself and even write somo of my "songs" here haha, although I just have lyrics :P. Also, I am a native Spanish speaker so my English is not so good. I hope I can improve my writing and my fluently too. 
Have a really nice day and I will start uploding some things in a few days. Thank you!
