So this new leaf...

I had been doing well with this new leaf thing even with school being so crazy towards the end. Until today.  A friend said something that made me angry I mean very angry.  But I didn't say anything instead I wrote it down here. As I have mentioned before they have become vegan and some thing's that were said and done during that time pissed me off and I thought I had gotten over most of it...until today. A friend of both of ours (my friend and I ) who is also vegan told her that eating meat/fish once a year for Christmas isn't a deal breaker so eat your traditional stuff and don't worry about it.  So my friend was talking with her husband about this and I was listening but not participating in the conversation. (they were having the conversation in front of me in the kitchen) and he says I feel crab is a gateway meat.  Now I kinda chuckled at this cause its kinda funny.  The husband said he wasn't sure he wanted to eat meat again, she says meat is gross. While I'm standing right there knowing full well I eat meat.  Now when this vegan thing started and I was getting angry about all of this so I stopped talking to her about food or food related items because I don't want to be angry with my friend. Now she has done "research" on cows and chickens and when I say research I mean watch a couple of documentaries on netflix.  So you watch a couple of videos about chickens and cows and now they're gross?! I don't criticize your food why would you do that to me? The biggest thing that gets me is she is teaching this intolerance to her children.  The daughter has written on homework she doesn't like meat its gross and unhealthy.  So this kid is going to go to school and judge others who are eating meat, she is going to tell them they are eating unhealthy and this worries me a lot.

One of the biggest biggest things for me is not making fun of people for being who they are.  Nothing makes me more angry and I feel this is a part of that.  I was teased/picked on as a kid for not eating the way "normal" people do, for going to church on Saturday, and a whole host of other things. Now I almost feel I'm being ostracized for being "normal"   I hate intolerance hate it.  So I try to be tolerate of other people and their ways its not for me to tell them how to live their lives.  I can only live my life the way I think it should be run.
