You can't love animals and eat them too.
.
I'm definitely not entitled to to make such comments, because for 91% of my life I ate meat and for 97% I ate other animal products (yes, I counted😉)
But I suppose that is the case. Especially that you don't have to eat animals...
.
I just wanted to share my experience of one year of eating plant based food. Well, basically going vegan was the best decision I made and I only wish I had made it earlier. Apart from environmental and moral "advantages", I can say that I feel great! I'd say I have more energy, I feel "clean", I feel lean. I finally don't have to unbutton my trousers in the afternoon because my belly is so bloated that I can't handle it. Ohh so many embarrassing moments at work because of that.😉
.
I'd say I was born to be vegan, because the transition was very easy for me. But...I never really liked meat that much anyway. Chicken, occasional burger, occasional fish and even more occasional seafood: that's basically all "meat" products I ate. Well, of course I ate meat when I was living at home, but I still remember how the smell of frying or roasted meat disgusted me. And all dairy products: after eating dairy my whole life I discovered that I'm probably lactose intolerant, so I simply don't want to eat sth that makes me feel bad.
.
Secondly, Manchester is very easy to be vegan in. There are so many vegan places and you can basically buy everything you can think of.
.
And it def wouldn't be so easy if it wasn't for Matt who loves cooking and experimenting in the kitchen. If he didn't cook, I'd probably eat bread with hummus all day everyday.😛
.
But I really think everyone could do it. It's def a process and there are a few things that you have to get used to, but now I don't even remember how "normal" cheese tastes and tbh, I don't want to remember. The same with egg. I used to love poached egg, but now when I think about some yellow, animal product floating on my plate...yuck.
.
You just have to take it easy, do some research and not think of it in a way...

2020 was a unique Leap Year. It had 29 days in February and 306 days in March.
.
I'm still in that March btw.
.
Super late to the game, but apparently sum ups are in order, so let's do that. Don't worry though, I won't be telling you how I learnt to appreciate small things.😛
.
When I'm looking at my goals from the beginning of last year, I have to admit a big failure:
- moving out from England for good - nope, still here.
- travelling somewhere new, at least once a month - good one!
- starting our nomadic adventure - don't think changing flats counts.
And a few other ones that I failed at as well.
.
I know, those 3 that I mentioned weren't totally up to us last year and they weren't SMART goals...although maybe it's just an excuse.
So taking only my goals into account, 2020 wasn't successful.
I did manage to achieve a few things as well, but somehow I can't be fully happy about them. My mindset was somewhere else. My mind was set on full time travel and we were mentally and resourcefully ready for it.
.
Although I did learn a few things:
✅that I can't go to jail, because I don't deal well with being locked down.
✅that it takes not 1, not 2, but 3 lockdowns to break my spirit.
✅that I can be with Matt 24/7 and not kill each other.
✅that I can live without going out - although I really don't want to.
✅that I can go from feeling totally excited to feeling total dispair in less than 1 min.
✅that I wasn't made for glamping, at least not in cold England.
✅that my second name should be "impatient".
✅that our world is unfortunately led by morons.
✅that there's limited amount of cosiness and sitting on the sofa that I can handle.
✅that I wanna goooooo!!!!

What I want for Christmas this year is my life bac

What I want for Christmas this year is my life back!
.
Well, but a few presents would be also nice.😉
.
Saw this quote in @athinaaki stories and thought that it couldn't be more accurate. Do you also think so?
.
So for the first time ever, I'm not spending Christmas with my family in Poland, even though everything was planned and tickets booked...tough luck.
I think it's mainly because the Universe wants to punish Matthew and make him spend every minute of every day with me. He was counting on some sweet relief, but nope.😉 Considering that since March we haven't spend more than a few hours apart, it's a miracle that we're still alive. Well, that he's still alive.😛
.
Anyway, since my Christmas spirit is limited to only eating and drinking, I'll concentrate on that this year. Instead of planning on doing something and then not doing it, I'll save myself another disappointment and will just plan to do nothing in the first place. Maybe, I will learn how to play "Betty" on guitar and read an actual book! That will be new.
.
So...Merry Christmas you guys! Or not. Hope you enjoy it! Or not! If you want to wear your sweatpants and drink wine, you do that. If you feel like staying in bed all day and eat cakes, you do that! Do whatever makes you happy, or at least not depressed! Nothing is permitted. Everything is allowed.😁
That's my golden thought!
Xoxo

Read this out loud:
.
this is this cat.
this is is cat.
this is how cat.
this is to cat.
this is keep cat.
this is a cat.
this is sucker cat.
this is busy cat.
this is for cat.
this is 40 cat.
this is seconds cat.
.
Now go back and read only the third word in each line from the start.
.
😃
.
I had a soppy, drippy, pity party caption prepared for today, but then I found this and thought it was way better than my "feeling sorry for myself essay of a spoiled brat".😉
.
But the truth is I don't know what to write my captions about anymore. And at the same time, I can't really connect with most of the stuff I see on Insta. Because: travel content - what travel?! Christmas content - not feeling it. All sorts of gratitude and positivity content... - I'm unfortunately not there atm.
.
Well, it's of course not all those caption's fault, I'm just not in a place where I can appreciate them. It's probably a sign for an Insta break... Dr Google did tell me, that I show most of the burnout symptoms. But can you have a burnout if you didn't achieve anything...?🙄
.
Will you take an Insta break over Christmas? Or will Instagram be the thing that will help you survive it?
.
Happy weekend!🎄

What did the traffic light say to other traffic li

What did the traffic light say to other traffic light?
Don't look, I'm changing.😬
.
Wah wah wah waaah!
.
I know this is bad, it's the kind of a joke that the Google assistant tells you when you ask him for a joke, but my brain doesn't work today. My thoughts are either very gloomy or very sarcastic and I don't want to share heavy stuff before the weekend.😉
.
Christmas lights -> lights -> traffic lights...that was my way of thinking.😛
.
I'm still hoping to visit London, maybe next week, to admire all the beautiful Christmas decorations, including Regent and Oxford Street. Those lit angels never disappoint!
.
If you somehow can get to London before Christmas, check out my guide to all the best Christmas decorations. LINK in BIO!
.
And happy weekend!🎄💓🎄

If anyone is Christmas shopping for me, I'm size window seat in plane tickets!
.
Who is also more than ready to travel next year? I definitely am and if it was up to me I'd be on the first plane to Bali...or anywhere in Asia.
.
Maybe I'm being stupid and overly optimistic (although I doubt that, Im never optimistic😛), but I really have high hopes for next year.
.
I'm feeling rebellious today and I'm just sick of this whole c situation and fake positivity and listening to: 'this is just how it is this year' and if stuff doesn't change next year, I might have a serious meltdown. I'm not sure if I ever had a meltdown...like what do you do during meltdown...do you scream or cry or throw stuff...or you just give up on everything😉 but all of that might happen.
.
Will you travel as soon as you can next year or you'll take it slow and wait when it's completely safe? If "completely safe" even exists anymore.
.
