"Are you allowed to eat this?"
"Oh, she can't have that."
Is what others say when i'm around. I do confront them about their choice of words, and tell them not to get it twisted, that i don't WANT to eat that. This is all done very gently, moreso than it sounds, so i suppose it doesn't really qualify as a confrontation.
I've been thinking for a while about jumping onto the food blog bandwagon. Since the cooked vegan days. It just seems so fulfilling to me. To have a document of the creations, recipes, and feelings I've been harboring. The sweet, savory, and the nauseating. The big push was the new SLR(no joke) camera I just got, which means i can finally try my hand in the raw food p0rn industry. My intent is to focus mainly on the food, not so much the raw journey. I say intent because i'm sure the outcome is eventually going to end up opposite, because the raw road is awfully whinedy.
This is my second year being homeschooled, and i still can't decide if it's a blessing or a curse. I chose this. I demanded it, actually. In a sense it was a blessing because i probably would not have stumbled across this raw revelation. It's a curse because i go absolutely mad, almost every day, not being able to figure out what to do with myself. So i'm trying not to feel like such a loser being at home all day, and get to creating.
If we were truly in tune with the earth and our emotions, we wouldn't have to seek out comfort and distractions in food. I'm currently eating an eggplant cutlet as i type this. If i were happy that wouldn't be the case. But it's cold outside(comfort), and i don't feel that great about myself(distraction).
I wholeheartedly believe in David Wolfe's philosophy that says something to the effect of: If you're not feeling GREAT, then there's something wrong. (Those in raw don't need me to tell them to look deeper into the apparently obvious statement ). Therefore I, like anyone else into this lifestyle, am on a quest to reach my full potential as a human in this day and age. Our minds are supposed to be in a different state. We're not supposed to feel mediocre and bored. And the bleached flour and carcasses don't appear to be helping the situation.
