When You're Kinda-Sorta Vegetarian

What's wrong with a cheese platter for dinner?

I am not a huge fan of any meat. I don’t think that it tastes good and the texture is weird. I also have a problem with chewing my food for what feels like five hours before you can swallow it. Now, I am not a full on vegetarian. I love sushi and I’m not afraid to eat a hamburger every once in a blue moon. Here are some of my daily thoughts when it comes to food and on being an almost vegetarian.

No, it's not a health thing.

No, I'm not trying to save all the animals.

I just don't like it okay?!

Is there meat in this dish?

Can we not put meat in this?

Okay, what if we put it on the side?

If you ground up the meat really well so that I can’t tell it’s in this spaghetti then I will probably eat some of it.

Oh look, I managed to eat all of my spaghetti and leave all the meat in the bottom of my bowl.

Is there a side dish to go along with the steak, because if not, I will starve.

If you have to use a knife to eat some kind of meat, then I’m not having any.

Steak, Pork Chops, Ribs….No thank you.

And don’t get me started on bacon.

We’re having a BBQ? Great, looks like I will be having chips for lunch today.

Hotdogs??? LOL, I would rather eat my arm instead.

I will eat a hamburger only if it is from Five Guys and if it has everything on it so that you can’t actually taste the hamburger part.

What’s wrong with some pasta salad? Or some regular salad? Or a cheese platter for dinner instead?

Why do people always mix meat in with the rest of their food? WHY?!

It just makes it that much harder to eat around it.

I still don’t understand why we just can’t have pasta and cheese for dinner every night.

I should probably have some protein in my life, yeah?

Peanut Butter it is!

BBQ restaurant for dinner? Only if they have mashed potatoes and mac and cheese that I can order instead.

Can I get an order of pasta please. No I would not like to add any meat. Yes, I’m serious.

People trying to ruin mac and cheese with chicken or hot dogs.

What if we order a full meal and you can have the main course (meat) and I can have the side (mashed potatoes)

I’m actually a cheap date, so you should be thanking me that I didn’t order a steak.

I can handle meat in one meal per day. That’s my limit.

Most people think that it’s the end of the world when you don’t enjoy all meat products. But the reality is that I just don’t think it’s that good. I have to be in the mood to eat a hamburger or I have to be incredibly hungry and there are no other options for me to eat just a piece of meat.

My boyfriend's goal is to get me to order a steak one day. He probably shouldn’t count on that, but I did start to eat hamburgers again, so who knows what the future might hold.

Peace out meat lovers. I'll be over here with my cheese platter and some wine.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
