Alwaysbeautiful, 37

I'm a recent graduate of Baylor University and have just moved back from Bangkok, Thailand. I'm currently living in Ft. Worth, Texas where I plan on truly becoming active in my beliefs on animal cruelty, environment conservation and human rights. Out of everyone I know, I'm the only vegetarian and living in the South doesn't really give me much support on not eating meat. My family and friends don't really agree with it. I am on here not only to find someone that believes in the same things I do, but also to build friendships with people who are as open minded and loving as I am. In order to be a veg, you can not deny these traits, if you did how could you make the choice to preserve life instead of end it?
