I've been receiving a lot of opposition the past couple years on how I'm deciding to live my life. I'm getting questioned about my diet, my lifestyle, the way I'm voting, how busy I am, etc. At first I was really uncomfortable about this. I felt it was nobody's business but mine. Now I'm starting to realize it's because I'm standing up for what I feel is right and doing things that aren't ordinary and people are noticing. Now, I'm happy to explain myself. Usually by the end of a conversation, if people don't necessarily feel the same way I do, they are able to at least see my point of view.
People tend to oppose what they do not understand. I'm glad you have developed your vocabulary to be able to defend the improvements you have made without making others feel challenged. That is the hardest part - defending without instilling guilt.
