"Only when we have become nonviolent towards all life will we have learned to live well with others"

I will never understand how considering my impact on others, adjusting myself to cause less harm to them, and advocating for others to do the same is more superior and elitist than a non-vegan assuming it’s their right to harm others, use their bodies, and take their lives at will.

"I can never unlove you. I’ll just love you in a different way now."

"And so you have scars,
How do you see it making you weak?
These deep cuts aren’t the signs of your weakness, they’re your marks of courage, endurance, and struggle.
Even if they’re the remainder of a battle you’ve lost, they still mark your power, your power of fighting back.
These sharp edges left on your skin,
Visible or not,
Should be the swords you fight with
Not the blades that cut you.
So wear them,
Wear them with pride,
Because this is the battle after the battle,
And this is how you win it."
