the saying that vegans push their “opinions” on people is very incorrect.

1. factory farming is not an opinion
2. animal cruelty is not an opinion
3. what animal products do to your body is not an opinion

Fuck the people who are handed things in life when others who are more deserving of things have to work harder than anyone else, put their blood, sweat, and tears into everything because nothing comes easily to them.

Everyone feels incapable and inadequate at times. Some more than others, but then there are varying degrees of negative and positive within everyone. The idea that we are in control of how we feel about ourselves, I believe, is true. But I also believe that some people are predisposed to feeling more negative or more positive about themselves than others. We can’t help being who we are. No amount of shrink visits, or pep talks, or self help/self improvement books and methods, etc. etc. can change the core of a person and how they feel deep down. 

We all paint what we want our ideal self to look like, act like, be like. How attractive, how intelligent, articulate, humorous, sensitive, open, charismatic, smart, ambitious, creative, confident, etc. we wish to be. This nonexistent ideal self manifests in our heads. Whether we truly feel the traits we identify with are indeed present, there’s always something missing.

Then we paint what we think is our true self. Nine times out of ten it’s a long list of faults. But when someone else is to give their description, that list is a lot smaller, or maybe nonexistent because chances are, even complete strangers have more positive things to say about us rather than ourselves. The irony of it all.
