Hello....
I'm Jasmine and I'm 19 and live in Brisbane.
I'm really awkward and don't have many friends.
My 'veganism' (for lack of a better descriptive term) began only a short while ago, let's say hmm 4 months, if that? I was 'vegetarian' for about one year before making the transition.
So far, it has been everything I wanted/expected and then some.
However, I am still in what you could call a transitory state where I am completely aware of a number of non-food products surrounding me in my home on a day-to-day basis that are less than desirable. I'm still making the occasional mistake, and learning from it (hooray!).......but just taking things in my stride and striving to improve my awareness and attitudes to other people each day.
I study Wildlife Science at UQ, but am exploring my options with a few other marine/environmental/conservation degrees.
A perfect word you could use to describe me and my life at the moment is: undecided.
Yep. I'm going through a really rough patch in my mostly 'picture perfect' life thus far, and a lot has changed for me in a short space of time, especially within my family, but more-so in my brain and thought patterns, habits etc. I actually feel a little bit lost. But in amongst all of this I have a light that shines brightly and keeps me moving forward (oh so cliche) and that light is: everyone that is reading this!
It inspires me so much to see everyone coming together in support of a positive change, and I'm looking forward to talking to you guys and possibly making some new friends.
Thanks for listening... bye
