Because I feel SO much better when I eat raw as opposed to cooked food: my cycles are lighter and almost unnoticable, my skin is clearer, I have more energy, and I know in my heart that this is right!
I haven't been without my slips (both major and minor) but I always come back to raw - it's a lifestyle choice that I'll never give up on no matter how many times I dabble in cooked foods. I'm in this for life!

Because I want to BE all those postitive things I can be. I feel with raw dreams are not some distant flickering faint light in the horizon but actually are things I can attain in this life and right now. I want to see myself free of my emotional ties, raw can help me with this. I want to live happily and healthy. I envision this old whitehaired woman walking around watering the plants and tending to her big garden in the early mornings, I want to become that old woman, tender and ripe with age and with a fulfilled heart. This is a great thread! thank you for re-reminding me of my purpose!

Photography is my way of painting the atmosphere around me, opening my eyes to the splendour of the world.. Glimpses of my effort can be seen here:

My goal in life is not to get any diseases, which is why I am raw.
