My opinions and choices are my own and once made I do not like changing them. I'm awesome at feeling guilty and having regret, so I try to move forward as best possible to avoid those emotions. The "what if" factor can try and haunt me but I don't want to be bothered or questioned. Set in stone and to the grave, that's how I like my decisions to be.
Saturday night was my senior prom. How did it go? Well I don't know, because I didn't attend. I don't feel like I missed out or should have gone at all. I decided not to go on my own - its not my cup of tea and I don't think I would've had much fun anyway. Its a waste of money and
meant for people who have a lot of friends at school. A. I don't have the money for it, B. I try to have as few friends as possible at school. Maybe if I had been going to Englewood for 4 years, been super close with all my friends, and totally into dancing and lame music, then yes,
I would have been thrilled to go. But like I said...I didn't feel the need and I don't really care. Its not that big of a deal to me but everyone seems flabbergasted at the fact that I didn't go.
To follow this theme of choices, today (4/2, yes haha) is my 2 year anniversary of being meat-free. The ONE thing I hate about being vegetarian is when people ask, "Why?" I DON'T KNOW! Honestly, I don't have a *legit* reason. I just don't eat meat! I never like it that much to begin with. I mean, chicken is good, burgers are alright, but I'm living without it and I'm doing just fine, so why eat it? I like not eating meat, minus the restaurant part of it, but I can deal. I'm sure probably one day I'll eat meat again, but its no time soon. I love the animals!
And finally, this has come up 3 times at work in the past week and it just irks me each time. "How can you not drink/think about trying drugs?" Uhhhhhhhh, I just can? Its a little thing I have, called self control, would you like some? I mean, it doesn't bother me that (almost)
EVERYONE I know does those type of things, but I don't and that's that. I'm not going any farther with this, I just don't understand the point of people questioning me about it.
I'm coming close to a milestone. I'll let you know about it.
