Why I went Vegan

I never saw that one coming, to be honest, but I didn’t go from being a regular meat eater to being vegan overnight rather I became a vegetarian first. 

I always regarded myself as a cannibal and proud, where meat was present in breakfast, lunch, and dinner and used to snack on minced pies and always regarded vegetables and fruits as a waste of space both on the table and in my stomach. I did try to go vegetarian in the past, I think the longest was 15 hours more or less. 

Growing up, I always had stomach problems, never knew what really was the cause from doctor to another a variety of medicine, putting some veggies here and but still nothing really worked. 29 years of age, stomach problems increasing as I got older, still too stubborn to have veggies or cut down on the meat, I came across Lara the creator of Larasvegankitchen.com. She put it into a really simple way, she asked me have I ever seen an animal being slaughtered or mass animal farming, the way they treat animals, what they feed them, the feelings of fear that most likely gets stored in the animals DNA and transferred to you when you eat them? 

Think about it, you are eating a dead body, depending on what is common in your area of upbringing, from Beef, Lamp, pork, camel, fish, cat, dog, rabbit, duck and some other birds and animals. If you are in Europe, you might never even think of eating a dog as they are highly popular as a pet, but other parts of the world it is totally fine.

Maybe they just want to live, like everything else, just because they can’t talk it doesn’t mean that they don’t feel. We are creatures of habit and highly influenced by our surroundings, social norms and culture. Not to mention, eating dairy products and eggs?   Don’t even get me started on how does that even make sense. 

Nope, I am not a fanatic, vegan advocate, by all means, I do eat meat sometimes. Not being a hypocrite here but by all means, I am trying and have gone on for months with no animal products at all. Stomach problems have almost disappeared, I do feel a little bit better overall but mostly I feel more aware of my surroundings and the impact of what I put in my mouth on the environment and my overall health.
By all means, I am not trying to convert you or promote, all I am trying to do is spread awareness and share my experience.

Anxiety Attack

Anxiety Attack Even writing this post is making me anxious. I doubt that I am the best person to explain anxiety, how it occurs and what causes it but I will try to give you an insight on what I think it is and you can take it from there and do your research. Have you ever work up and that there is this feeling in your gut that makes you feel uncomfortable, not talking about physical pain here like the one you have after doing 500 reps in abs workout. The feeling of disgust, acidity bubbling in your stomach to the extent that your whole body feels off. Hormones all over the place, the feeling that you just want to throw up, well my friend you might be suffering from anxiety.   It is very difficult to know what is causing it, but usually, it is all mental and got to do with your life circumstance and believe me there is no easy way out of it. Usually, what helps me get past this is a workout, a walk, some music, meditation or some reading. Not sure how severe yo...

Gaming addiction

Gaming addiction If you were never the gaming type then I guess you do have more time on your hands, but for those gamers out there, this article is for you. From my own experience, I have been a gamer for most of my life, starting from the good old floppy disks games to today on my smartphone or video game console. It does seem to me that for most of my life I have been crossing the thin line between being a gaming addict and a casual gamer. To me, it was all about my mental health, stress levels and what was going on in my life, not to mention really good advertisement and hyping up a game.  Most games that I have come across these days have this element that you have to keep on coming back or you will lose progress in comparison to other players, which is usually done by daily challenges or rewards.  The worst element that I have come across was the “pay to win” in other words, if you spend real money on the in-game purchase, the chances you will alw...

Don’t do it alone

Don’t do it alone You might see yourself as a more than able human that is capable of being independent and being a one man/woman band. Nothing wrong with that, as it can be very convenient and comfortable, nowhere to check in, no one to report to and just being detached.  While it is totally possible to do it, but the million dollar question is it worth it? In an era where entrepreneurship and being an entrepreneur is in the middle of everything and is being the life that a lot of people desire with all what it offers. But like every good thing, there is a bad side to it that can be very frustrating. Well, it gets really lonely and overwhelming as you have to do everything yourself unless you can afford employees.  For most fresh on the market entrepreneurs, having money is not a luxury that you have at the beginning of your journey and your resources might be limited at first. Usually stuck with the decision, of continuing the struggle or going back to ...
