I should be doing an assignment which is why of course I've found myself back on Tumblr looking through the archives, and all I can really say is, wtf. Soooo many problematic opinions and ways of thinking. I am so sorry. Jesus Christ. I guess I can forgive myself for being a gross, toxic, misogynistic teenager... but just 6 years ago (just? maybe that is a long time and I should be more forgiving...) I was comparing animal agriculture to human slavery and the holocaust. I'm still vegan and I still hate animal agriculture, but to make that comparison is just gross for reasons I cbf to address in this post.

Anyway I guess I can try take away from this that I've grown and learnt a lot and will hopefully continue to do so, rather than enter a shame spiral about how I used to be......

OH YEAH SO 

I wasn’t just a “bad vegan” not eating properly, turns out I have fucking COELIAC DISEASE, and if anything being vegan just got rid of the cramps I used to get and helped me fly under the radar as a silent coeliac. Ngl it has not been super enjoyable being a gluten free vegan. I am, however, looking forward to absorbing nutrients properly.

Hey

This was 2013 and I remember just how hard it felt to get all this done. But I did and I got the scholarship, which gave me $3000 per semester, for two semesters per year, for four years.

I have just started my masters and went through the same process again. It didn’t feel as hard this time, granted I didn’t have to make a trip to Sydney, but it was easier. Still stressed me the fuck out though. Anyway just saw this pop up in my ‘other posts like these’ and it reminds me that everything hard I go through I come out the other side. One week down of masters and I’m already behind and doubting myself but at the same time I know I can do it.

Doing all this stuff for an equity scholarship is so hard…

I had to write out a personal statement about how my depression and anxiety affects my ability to undertake study, I have to get a section filled out by my doctor in Sydney so I need to make a trip there on Thursday, and I have to get a section filled out by a counsellor or something so I had to photocopy all the pages including my personal statement to her so she could see if she’s able to do it and if she is I still need to see her on Friday to get it from her. Then I need to do all this verification shit so UAC accepts it.

It’s too hard, if my mum wasn’t pushing this I wouldn’t even try. In fact it was due in months ago and I just didn’t do it until they sent a reminder email, so after all this it might not even be counted because it’s so late.

Life. Is. Too. Difficult.

X-rays suck and I actually ALSO BROKE 4 OTHER BONES IN MY FOOT.

Got a bone mineral density test because of the severity of my injury and turns out I have osteopenia. So just a huge psa to my fellow vegans (and anyone that might be restricting their intake or not nourishing themselves properly) please watch your calcium! Iron and B12 are such an obvious ones that I’ve taken care of but then completely neglected calcium. I’ve gone back to square one of researching and making sure I’m getting my daily. Take care of yourselves!

Omg excitin! Who's the boyfriend lucky enough to have you. How'd you meet??

I knowwww right haha. We were in the same year in high school and at the very best were just acquaintances, but we were both in London at the same time and decided to meet up and things went from there. I am very lucky :)
