calory

🌸 • Throughout my whole life, I've tried to give too many shits, which resulted in the important shit getting buried under the mountain of everything else that I tried to care about. 

Nowadays, I'm trying to practice not giving a shit about things that does not vibe with the person I am becoming today. Identifying & de-trigger what usually upsets me. It'll be a life long process. 

Not giving a shit does not necessarily translate into not caring - in this context, it's the realisation to stop overthinking about the things that's out of my hands anyway. 

Caring can be really draining, so I find it important to prioritize what I really have the capacity to care for. Giving the mind a chance to recover from the countless impressions of every day •

• Lately, I've noticed that I'm gradually shifting towards a more plant based  diet. 

Rather than forbidding myself anything, my interest for meat & fish is just in decline, replaced with amusement of the vivid colours & health benefits veggies can give me. 

I am fully embracing the direction I am going in, as I do believe the world would be a better place without industrial mass-suffering. And I thank the universe for letting all of this happen so naturally, for me. 

However much I do like the thought of veganism, I also believe that it can promote other harmful mechanisms, such as importing food from all over the world. Animal produce or not, I think choosing local is the most sustainable option when it comes to the climate. 

But. 

I've been a sushi chef for almost 10 years. Not owning my own restaurant, or deciding my own menu, proves it difficult to stay as sustainable as I would like. Which makes me wonder what I can, or should do. 

I don't want to be part of the old ways that's clearly steering us into the abyss. 

I want to be part of the change. 

And change starts with oneself.
