I am pretty sure I'm about to join an organic food co-op. The pickup is near my house, it's way cheaper than the grocery store, and if I have the fruits and veggies, I'll eat em. Then, I'ma give all my meats to Erinleigh who needs food right now and go straight up vegetarian.
Call me convicted hanging out with a vegan, but I'm also finding myself eating less meaty meals around him and it's making me feel gross again to eat meat again. I've been throwing this back and forth for about a year now- just didn't wanna make my diet even more complicated than it already is- but I think it's actually going to help. Much easier to say "I'm a vegetarian" and then just don't eat the eggs as well than the "I'm allergic to eggs, I don't eat red meat or pork, and depending on how you prepare it, perhaps not turkey too."
I was happier when I didn't eat meat. I'm happier when I don't et a lot of sugar too. But I convince myself in the moment that meats and sugars will make me happy. Hold me to it, please? I'll let you know when this goes down.
And yes, the boy has prompted hard thinking about this, but no, I'm not doing it for the boy. The boy could easily be outta my life in a few weeks- you never know- but, like I said, this has been wresting my mind for a long time now. Kinda like I moved to Atlanta cause I wanted to move to Atlanta, not because Jesse lived here? Sure it was a bonus (short lived, but nonetheless) but not the whole reason. Or I would have left. Cause Nothing Else Was Holding Me Here.
Anyhoo, I'll write more about that late-rahs when I have more time- I'm wrapping up CG for an event that will hopefully end soon, since I was supposed ot be outta here 30 minutes ago. I better get paid, yo.
