Today, I wanted to change things up and delve a little deeper into who I am as a person.

About 9 years ago, I decided to become a vegetarian. I wasn’t totally sure of what came about of the vegetarian lifestyle, but I can safely say I surprised both my family and myself for sticking with it after all these years. Before the terms ‘vegetarian’ and ‘vegan’ became buzz words for media outlets, I became inspired by the work done by organisations such as Peta and WWF who strive for animal and nature conservation around the globe. So far, it’s been the most rewarding decision I’ve made in my life in terms of meeting similarly-minded people and exploring the vegetarian philosophy. As a vegetarian, I think it’s important to respect each individual's decision when it comes to having a meat free-or carnivorous diet. Don’t get me wrong, the wafting smell of bacon my mom cooks on a Sunday morning makes me swoon but I must remain strong and stay true to who I am!
