I’m turning into one of those people

One of those difficult people.

Recently I saw a naturopath.

I’ve learned that I don’t have the enzymes to break down soy.

This is a huge victory. I now have an excuse never to eat tofu again.

Bacon is fine. Tofu is bad. Worldview intact.

Dairy?

That’s also a problem.

A big problem.

I love cheese.

Next issue?

Refined sugar.

Again, a problem.

So now?

Now, I’m one of those people who needs to be picky in restaurants.

Now I’m one of those people who makes requests of others who have me over for dinner.

I was never one of those people.

I kind of resented them to be honest.

Now?

I feel better physically.

The change in identity however is really rough.

On top of that?

I’m one of those people trying on a different name.

I’m one of those people trying to make a leap.

I’m one of those people asking you to see me differently.

I’m one of those people trying to grow.

Have you ever been one of those people?

Tell me about it in the comments…
