#affirming

It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well. ↗

I made the choice to be vegan because I will not eat (or wear, or use) anything that could have an emotional response to its death or captivity.

I can always look up at the cosmos and marvel, no matter what happens. And when I look up at it, I feel as though my problems are small. I don't know why, but it always makes me feel better. ↗
