But, I wasn't specific enough with how I am carrying out this hunger strike. I am not simply just drinking water right now. I want this to go on as long as it can (or world peace is achieved), so I have thought about it and planned it out.
I am no longer eating any solid food. Yesterday, I had a Snickers latte from NU Cafe, and a bottle of V8 Fusion. Today, I'm almost finished with a smoothie from NU that has protein in it. I am not simply starving myself.
Not surprisingly, my family told me they were worried about me. My uncle came to visit last night, and told me about Dick Gregory, who went on several hunger strikes himself (he's 83 now). Today, my sister came to visit me because she wanted to see me and give me a hug (I think the total was 8 before she left). I assured her that I wasn't planning on going anywhere, and that I was making sure I got what I needed without solid food. Like every other idea or project I had, she told me she was going to support it (this one by getting me some protein powder, for one). My aunt came along with her for the ride, so I gave her about 4 hugs as my sister left.
I am so lucky to have family that loves me and supports me no matter what I decide to do, while also being honest with me about their feelings. I love you all.
Peace, everyone.
