I feel as though this is a large step in the right direction towards living a better life for myself. This is one step towards fully giving animals the full respect they deserve. Just because I might wear leather, or not read the bottle on the shampoo good enough, I don't consider myself an evildoer. In fact, the world would be a better place if everyone tried taking little steps in the same direction, while maintaining their diversity, instead of jumping to whatever looks good (or to what makes them salivate).

Finally, making this conscious, pertinent decision in my life has helped me, in ways that I would have never dreamed. Since I have gained an enormous amount of control over my life. Previously, I had trouble with decision making, taking a stance, speaking my peace. It was hard at first, of course; it took a lot of discipline, and I didn't know what the future had in store for me, but I felt as though I was led by a conviction higher than myself. I know what I believe in, I know where I stand, and I don't feel ashamed to speak it. To live it. I'm a cross-country runner, and people often debate as to if finishing a race has to do with physical endurance, or strength of mind. Well, now I know. I can do whatever my heart tells me to do, and though sometimes my heart doesn't speak up loud enough, I'll live.

This decision has really focused and centered my life, spiritually, emotionally, even physically. I love being a vegetarian, and I don't even salivate anymore when I see a barbequed rib, or flame-broiled hamburger. It takes determination and a little bit of work, but the rewards are unimaginable.
Thank you for your ears...
