@Vegan: you're perfectly fine with your rant. i wouldn't really call it a rant, actually. just a story <3 I totally understand where a lot of vegans come from, and while i agree with most of the values, i personally don't have the resources to be vegan myself, and my hubby is definitely a carnivore. My aunt was Vegan for like 7 to 10 years, but wasn't able to get the nutrients she needed to eat so she had to start eating meat again. She did however do it for health reasons, rather than animal rights reasons. She was also pescatarian for a few years, but again, that didn't quite work out for her.
I totally understand friends and family questioning you moving away. i think they do that because they like you to be near them and want to make sure you'll be okay and as a way of showing you that they love and care for you. My family did the same thing when I decided to move. My mom was probably the most chill with it though because she can afford to come visit me at least once a year, if not more. She actually just took my hubby, me, and my older sibling to Disney in january for 10 days. She put the trip on her credit cards, and already has it all paid off. she also just asked if i wanted to go to a glass blowing class when i go visit in 10 days (for her birthday). Last time i visited was i think 3 years ago, actually, when i surprised her with the visit for her birthday! i'm really bad at getting back to Boise, but i'm hoping that it can be an every year thing moving forward.
Have you had a chance to visit your hometown since you moved?
