Another post, because there are so many things I want to say.

Writing is my method of choice when it comes to 'organization'.
Lately, it has also become my way of expressing myself. So here goes.

In making my decision to become a RV, I had no doubt that it has been one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. And will remain one of the best decisions I will make. Strangely, the act of telling people that I have chosen so has been a bit of a coming-out-of-the-closet experience. (I am assuming, as it isn't something I've done personally) It isn't a main stream lifestyle that many people are aware of; most probably haven't even heard of it. And people tend to have a very strong opinion on food- and thus revokes strong reaction. There is a great chance in people not at all understanding my choice. I soon realized that it doesn't matter what people think, because I am so sure of this decision; choosing RV isn't just a diet, it's a lifestyle that I have always wanted. It is the first major choice I have made in my life, and it has made me much happier than I had ever been in my life before. It has brought much change, and are they ever positive!
It's amazing how someone can change a life so fast.

I have many people ask "Why?", and "How do you do it?"
Why? because it's something I've always leaned towards, and nothing has ever 'clicked' with me more than the choices I am making because of my new lifestyle. It's something I feel I was meant to be doing. Something so rewarding. It's something I am doing for myself.
And how?
I grew up loving veggie sticks and fruits. My mother strongly dislikes veggies and fruits, and my father was never home, so it would seem rather strange that I would acquire such taste in food. This isn't something I can explain. I have always just known that I feel better eating high-raw.

When I moved back to Canada, I had destroyed my body by eating extreme amounts of processed foods. And though I felt horrible, I ignored such feelings and continued to eat high-processed foods. After about 3 years of such abuse, I naturally began to fill at least half of my plate with salad. I began snacking on fruits rather than mass-marketed sweets. This came in time with me having more time to myself-boarding school doesn't always give you that. As soon as I started drifting back to the way I used to eat, I got back in touch with someone I vaguely knew, but didn't get the chance to actually get to know. It so happens that she has introduced me to the RV lifestyle. She didn't know the existence of such lifestyle at the time, but the diet was essentially identical. I expressed immediate interest, and here I am.
It's always been a natural choice for me, I suppose. I just needed some guidance in finding myself once again.

That was my most significant synchronicity I've experienced thus far-And I've only noticed it now. Many things in life just sits in front of you, and we're too busy looking we don't see what's already there.
