Hi guys! Recently I had a small but important day. I talked about it on Instagram. April 10 was exactly 9 years since I did not eat meat.

Since you are my VIP subscribers 😅, of course, here I share more frank and detailed stories from my life. Today I will tell you about this important part of my life.

I'll start by saying that I'm from Belarus, where veganism is not very popular. In cafes or in some restaurants you can find vegan positions, but very rarely. From plant food in the store, you can find milk, a few yogurts, and sometimes soy meat. The choice is not very large.

There are specialized shops, but it is not always possible to go there, and besides, the prices are quite high.
When I lived in Belarus, I tried to give up meat several times, but then I broke down.
This was due to lack of awareness and limited products in my city.

We always choose between comfortable and uncomfortable in life. It is always convenient to buy something available in the store and cook quickly. It is convenient to eat a sandwich, but it is not convenient to make a salad. Convenient to drink cola, but not convenient to make smoothies

After all, it takes a lot of time, and we are always somewhere in a hurry. And we live our lives like we're immortal. As if we still have a lot of time ahead of us to do sports, eat right, travel, do what we have always dreamed of.

So one day I was faced with a choice. I love animals and don't want to eat them. Why do we love cats and dogs, but do not like pigs, cows, chickens, rabbits. These are living beings and I have no right to take their lives for my own benefit, if I can safely do without it. So I decided to try again.

Yes, it was not convenient, but as I said above, we always face a choice, and everyone makes his own. And in the future, each choice has its own result.

The result of giving up meat was my emotional state. I stopped feeling guilty every time I ate a piece of meat. I realized that at the moment I did everything in my power to help the animals. Yes, I will not change this terrible attitude of people towards animals, but at least I have nothing to do with it. I don't support it financially and don't use it for food 💚🌱

Are there vegans/vegetarians here?
