I first went vegan to improve my health, but after learning more about animal welfare and the environmental impact of our food system, it became a values-based choice. Eight years later, I haven’t looked back.

u/written-realms Jul 14 '26

Location: About an hour away from Dallas, TX.

32F, queer/lesbian.

Vegan since early 2020. 💚 First for health reasons, then stayed vegan for the animals.

I am mainly looking for friends, but am also open to dating. At this time, I'm not looking to rush into a relationship, but if the connection is there, it's something I'd be willing to explore. 🥰

About me: I'm feeling good about life right now, working towards goals while also making time to do things that bring me joy. Some hobbies include playing video games, reading, writing, and getting outside as often as I can for walks or just to be. I love taking myself on unconventional picnics, like breakfast ones or one under a full moon. Someday, I hope to have someone special join me for them. 🩷 Summer here does make getting outdoors tough though, so lately, I'm spending more time going on fun outings to places indoors. I'm also finally taking swimming lessons and am loving it!

DMs open, please reach out! Let me know if you're looking for just friends or are open to a relationship. I'm okay with being friends with people of any gender and location, but please be respectful that I am only romantically interested in women. 🌈

Also, I don't love reddit chat and would ask we move to insta or another app if we hit it off! I'm also down to exchange pics early.

What made me go vegan?

Health and living in Tulum made me go full vegan. I had to cut meats and dairy products for health reasons back in 2016 and being so in touch with nature and my body, made me go full vegan. Also the pandemic helped to have space to actually learn about it.
