Yes, many of you may be reading this, puzzled, asking yourselves why in the world someone might want to become a carrot. All I have to say is, technically, I'm not becoming a carrot. I'm becoming a vegetarian. Same difference. Now you're probably thinking that becoming a veg head makes a lot more sense then becoming a carrot. If that thought ran through your mind, congrats, you're right, it does.
It took me a while, and a lot of looking at my dear friend, Abbey, and realizing that perhaps, becoming a vegetarian was the right path for me. I'm not gonna pretend that I know anything about being a vegetarian, but honestly, how many of us really do? But anyhow, I have decided to venture into the unknown, and attempt the impossible. Actually it's completely possible. I'm going to shut up now.
The problem is that I don't know if I'm going to be able to BE a vegetarian. What if a week in I long for the hot, steamy taste of meat. Or what if everyone starts to look like a hamburger? Rather than assume that I'm insane, I'd much rather test this thing out. Try being a vegetarian for a reasonable amount of time, and then see how I do. Maybe I'll fail, maybe I'll realize that being a carrot really is my destiny. Who knows? All I know is that I plan to stay committed.
So, here's the meaty plan:
Spend 30 days, 30 nights, being a vegetarian. That means no meat of any kind. (But I'm not going to go crazy and cut out fish or dairy. I honestly cannot live without ice cream).
After 30 days, I'll see how I've done, and be able to interpret if being a vegetable is really my calling in life. I mean, I'm only 15.
Ha! Here goes for a first post. God, who would read this? I'm such a carrot.
