Why Being Vegan is a Prerequisite for a Relationship

Preface:
This message
Is for you
Whether you’re vegan
Or not not
<3
Not everyone will agree
But to me
Being vegan
Is a prerequisite
For a partnership
There are actually
Lots of reasons
For this
But let me give you
My primary one
The main argument
People make
For why being vegan
Shouldn’t matter
In a romantic relationship
Usually goes something
Like this:
Two people
Don’t have to have
The exact same beliefs
To be happy together
My aunt is Republican
My uncle is a Democrat
They’ve been happily married
For 35 years
A similar argument
Is made
For people
With different
Religious backgrounds
And I’m sure these scenarios exist
But political and religious issues
Have nothing on Veganism
Because two people
With different political
Or even religious views
May still have
Very similar morals
In other words
The WAY they live their life
Their personal code of conduct
May be identical - or very close to it
Regardless of who they voted for
Or what God they pray to
This is totally not the case
When it comes to being vegan
Because not only is being vegan
A deep and fundamental belief
That one species is not superior
To another
But identifying as vegan
Actually requires action/behavior
That is in alignment
With this fundamental belief
And the action that it requires
Unlike with a lot of other issues
Isn’t “gray” or open to interpretation
The parameters are clear
And the boundaries - therefore
Are impossible to miss
I’ve seen countless vegans
Try time and time again
To come together with someone
Who doesn’t share
In their moral code
Not only that
But I’ve done it myself
And it has caused
Both them and myself
A ton of unnecessary suffering
<3
Now to circle back
To what I said
At the start
This message
Is for anyone
Vegan or not
Who has ever
Tried to deny
The Truth
Of you who are
STOP IT
Stop pretending
Like you don’t know
What you want
What you need
What you desire
What you deserve
Stop pretending
Like you don’t know
What your Soul
Is calling for
Stop pretending
Like you don’t know
Who you are
And what matters to you
So damn deeply
That until you have it
EXACTLY
The way you want it
You don’t want it
Joy is your natural state
It’s time for you to remember
To our collective growth,
Tara x
