AU Hi there-I'm happy to be accepted to this site!

Hi there, I'm happy to be accepted to this site and hopefully, this forum, as finding like-minded, aware peeps is sometimes difficult..

Apparently, I'm considered 'old'; though IMO, it's relative... Also, I don't particularly like 'labels', even culinary preferences, as in 'vegan'; however, they do serve a purpose.
For most of my life I've been mostly vegan, even raw vegan, which at least in my case was the most healthiest I've ever been. Nevertheless, as I've aged, I've found it increasingly onerous to maintain perspective and 'will'.
I've found that 'loss', trauma and age related factors have reduced motivation, but despite these 'minor' dips on my journey, I still fight it and will continue to...
Take care

Welcome on board, @jalan !

Mostly vegan for most of your life sounds like an achievement to me! I think very few people can claim to have lived like that for a long life.

And yes, life can be so cruel and I can see how it can affect motivation. Maybe you will find it a little easier now that you have joined our community

I look forward to reading more posts from you!

Hi all, thx for all your replies of 'welcome' and while your support is obvious, I'll endeavour to be a support also and a 'friend', as, IMO it covers it all, right?

Hi and welcome! I'm old and I'm loving it.

I'm happy that you appreciate your 'older' age KLS52, but not for me... I'm still 25yrs in my mind and fight the aging process, tooth'n'nail, so to speak; however, my bod is forcing me to accept it, nonetheless...
