I consider myself a transitioning vegan. For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to be vegetarian. Then I learned about veganism. I've gone back and forth on my stance towards animal rights and my opinions on everything. Lately though, I've decided that this is a firm choice I want to make for the rest of my life. It's a lifestyle I aim for and something I want so deeply. I know that me being vegan will NEVER change the meat market because all they want is money. But I know that me being vegan is a positive step for myself and those around me. It's a step towards spreading awareness and education. It's a step towards health and longevity.

I'm a girl who is full of questions. I ask a lot of questions, so if you have any wisdom please, please PLEASE send me a PM with your input. I don't always check guild threads. I will greatly appreciate any support and help that I can get.

I have some questions right now though:

1. I have a lot of products. By a lot, I mean a lot. I probably have enough body wash and shampoo to last me a year or half a year. What should I do? Also, where can I find a giant list of ethical products to use?

2. I live with folks who are not vegan. They are extremely far from ever being vegan. In fact, they abuse animals. In my financial situation I can't move. I have nowhere to go. My boyfriend's family has opened their home to me and I can't afford to b***h at them. this is a constant hurt for me, but I have to live with it. I plan to move as soon as I can but right now that isn't going to be for awhile. Support and help is needed.

Thank you to anyone. <3
