i'm visiting my family and their town has some nice scenic areas and a very pretty waterfront
i'm super nervous because in half an hour i'll have to pick my courses for school and it's a very chaotic thing i want to throw up i don't even know why i feel this way since i have a made a schedule and have a backup schedule
i just want someone to make me a tea or bring me a vanilla soy latte
also! my family and i are going to new york city next week and i'm planning an itinerary for the 3-4 days we're there (i am the family planner). i am v excited for new york (we've been once before but there is so much i haven't seen) and i know they will have many vegan options for me.
lately i've been reading a book called eating animals by jonathan safran foer (you can find it in the social sciences section). don't ask me what it's about—it's in the name. but it is also so much more than that. i've been a vegan since april. i'm personally a vegan for ethical, environmental, health and economical reasons. probably in that order. i recently only have bought beauty products at lush and the body shop because they are animal-friendly. i love lush because it clearly depicts which of its item are vegan (though all are vegetarian). anyways, i highly recommend the book for anybody. it's taught me alot. i have nothing against those who eat meat (my entire family eats meat. my boyfriend is a butcher. also i do not know anyone else personally who is a vegan). this book doesn't shame but in a way empathize with omnivores. i won't get into it all. but read it. just try (it's by the author who wrote extremely loud and incredibly close, btw).
also i've read and own one too many books by cis white men so (other than this book^) i'm planning to read/am reading books by people such as maya angelou and kate chopin and zora neale hurston.
i should be posting more soon. follow me on instagram (hummingquietly or melaniemisener, which is my personal one) and twitter (hummingquietly).
thanks and have a good week! xxo
