Dear Tumor,
Last week, I posted on my FB wall, saying now
that I'm in a special and fragile position and since I'm a full fledged vegetarian, I guess I can straight up
demand for something shamelessly so what I did is I urge all my friends and cousins
if possible, to be vegetarian for a day once a week till 13th of August (Last day of my treatment), for me
or for whatever reason they deems fit (Slimming, healthy or cruelty).
So far, the response have been overwhelming, and I thank them not because they have chosen to go meatless even my sister whom is a major meat eater choose to be vegetarian till 13th of August everyday, Love u sis! but knowing they gave themselves a chance to explore what is it like not to have meat.
Of course, my main motivation is not to convert friends into vegetarian but knowing the good health benefits it will bring and not to mention all the social and environmental reasons. Most importantly is knowing that being a vegetarian is not about what you can't eat but because in ways that truly matter, we are all the same. Think about it. Whether human or non-human animal, we all seek happiness and pleasure, we all try to avoid pain and suffering. We all have rich and complex emotional lives.

Till then, I hope you’ll dissolve and evolve into better cell soon.
