Well Sir, my reality is it’s changed everything. HIV has not only been a curse, but a blessing. I no longer sweat the small stuff, have the time nor the patience for those “one way” street people. The wagons are circled tightly around me, and as of last week everyone in my immediate family knows I am positive. So like you I am being as a dang positive as I can possibly be at this time. The truest of the true are allowed in, while the Negative Nancy’s are relegated to wherever the hell they end up as long as it’s nowhere near me. I won’t apologize for being who I am, this is about self preservation and the less bs the better. I told my brother something the other day and it took him aback a bit, I said “I can see through walls now.” I wasn’t kidding either. So that’s the blessing, I have been enlightened. Life is too dang short to waste, these days people are so self centered/absorbed and have not experienced the “Enlightenment” that comes from facing ones mortality and getting right with he that created us. I was meant to have HIV right here and right now. There is no such thing as coincidence...know that. My motto: “I have HIV, HIV does not have me.”

Grind hard & Stay humble mate💫

Why Thank You @A myHIVteam Member. I am humbled everyday by people like you and the work you do. I keep reminding myself that this is just a virus, nothing more.....and too not
give it power over my veey existence it does not deserve. After almost a year adapting/dealing with this scourge i’m now ready to join the fight with AID Atlanta to do what I can. Keep up the fight and keep shining that beautiful light that is uniquely you on this reality which has dragged on for too long. You are the reason why one day soon there will be a cure. Grind hard/Stay humble💫

My reality is that I enjoyed getting the virus. I don't wish this disease on anyone. I have a positive life with HIV and the virus saved my life

It does tend to cause reevaluation of what initially seemed important.
