I was at dinner with my friend and I was answering all his questions about me and HIV during dinner. Yes I know I am not supposed to have sushi but it's soooo good!
It's hard to discuss HIV without feeling self conscious or concerned with judgment. I did it. And I think I know why I felt fine. I am done judging myself. I am done with the results of others judging me. I know what is in my heart and how I think. If other people are uncomfortable with life then it's probably because they are fearful or misinformed. I guess there is a time to not speak out, a crowd to keep your distance, but there is a life we are living and a freedom granted to us so we are comfortable with ourselves.
People say I am strong. I am not strong, maybe a little naive and oblivious, maybe a little brave. Or maybe I just don't care about those that hate what I have because I know I have lots of people who love me no matter what. I have the support group to fall back on. Even if I am down to just myself in this world, at least I know that I will love myself.
