I went vegan in 2020 after being vegetarian for a few years prior. Becoming vegan was the best decision of my life. To me, it is the only logical consequence of what we as humankind are doing to animals and to our planet. It is also so much better for your body and health. The perfect win-win: you save millions of cute and loving living beings while making a real impact on our environment and the future of our planet — and at the same time becoming healthier and happier.

One thing I noticed after a few weeks and months of being vegan was how much clearer my mind felt. It was as if there had been a fog in my brain before that suddenly disappeared. My thoughts became sharper and more focused. I hadn’t even realized that my mind felt different before — only the contrast showed me. Another change was that I became much healthier and developed a deeper connection to my body. I don’t care whether someone goes vegan for egoistic or altruistic reasons — the only thing that matters is that we stop supporting and consuming industries that profit from the suffering and torture of innocent beings who feel the same fear and pain as we do.

Looking back, I can’t even imagine that there was a time when I wasn’t vegan. I simply hadn’t made the connection between animal products and everything that lies behind them. The moment it clicked, there was no going back — and there never will be.
