Today i felt very aggravated. I tried to write as my hand shook in anger.
It's because lately more and more i am frustrated with the apathy and ignorance around me. it's hard to respect people's opinions when the reasoning is so false. it disgusts me that some people don't respect other cultures, understand differences, and yearn to help others. how can you be happy with the life youre living if you are doing nothing to help the greater whole in some way?
one thing i have now fully decided regarding vegetarians- i see no point in becoming one unless it is to become a vegan at the same time. to me, if someone is a vegetarian for the common reasons (maltreatment of animals, bad labor laws, etc) then for all the same reasons one should be a vegan. you'll eat the eggs from the chicken who is in the tight cage being killed by the man who can't afford a damn thing, but you won't eat the chicken? im not saying that people have to be vegans, but i merely suggest if you're a vegetarian, what reason do you have to not be a vegan? a great part of me wants to become one every day, but i wont let myself unless at the same time i am actually trying to change this. me not eating ___foods wont help, but me writing to companies AND not eating them might.
i wish at school i felt encouraged to talk and show people who i really am.
but i have this weird problem where even when my friends are talking, i barely want to listen. thats not phrased well. what i mean is that i just can't focus on what they are saying or i oddly dont feel as interested as i should be. and i dont think its because of who they are or what they're saying, but rather where we are.
i want diversity.
there are a few things i have good feelings about.
there are some things in the very near future to worry about.

So that whole little convo you said we had cracked me up...unfortunately I totally don't remember you sitting by me. I remember Kristin, Sydney and Lindsey or something...anyways. That's random, but funny.
And I san understand where you are coming from with vegan thing...I was a vegetarian up until eighth grade...but I decided it was kind of worthless unless I boycotted it all or something. Anyways...I've actually considered recently to become vegan...but then it's hard to get your proteins and stuff. I dunno it's still an option.
And sometimes I go a week feeling the way you do about your friends. Except for me it is what they are saying (which is completely mean I realize...but I want change sometimes) and the fact that my head is in the clouds way above them. Sometimes life just seems trivial if we aren't discussing something other than sports and Laguna Beach or something dumb like that...but perhaps it's like you said...the enviornment...no diversity or change.
Hmmm.
i love you
