You do not realize how much you appreciate your supportive
friends until you need them. Recently I
decided to live on a plant-based diet and I have shared this with many friends
through many avenues. What has been
surprising is the ridicule that I sometimes receive for making this
decision. I had no idea being a
vegetarian would draw so much negative energy.
My honest opinion is that these folks need to say something to validate
their own belief systems and chooses.
Those friends that support me, even if they are living the lifestyle I
choose to live, are amazing and I so appreciate them in my life. These are the friends who have learned to
accept people for who they are and respect the decisions you have made. They
are open to hear new ideas and they will not judge. They are open to share their ideas and know
you will not judge them. You feel
completely free to be who you are when you are in the presence of friends like
these. I appreciate those that are supportive
of me, those that let me be who I am, those that help me create a space to be
free.
