I talked to myself many times, and yes, I answered to myself. I wonder how many of you have conversations with yourself. No doubt I feel lonely and isolated many times, and I wonder if will find MY PERSON one day.
It has to do a lot with feeling that constant question of ” WOULD HE ACCEPT ME WITH EVERYTHING THAT I AM? WOULD HE BE ABLE TO LIVE WITH MY PAIN? WITH MY ANXIETY? WITH MY RAMBLING?
I LAUGH A LOT! And I like that about myself because I have fun with myself, I AM PROUD OF MYSELF, because I have managed to find wonderful coping skills to survive, and so, YES, I tell myself, I LOVE YOU!
NO DOUBT, I’m imperfect, full of asterisks, commas, exclamation points, and yes, question marks, but….with my rambling I SEE MY SHINING, MY CONNECTION TO ALL THAT IT IS, MY HELPING MANY PEOPLE AROUND ME.
I don’t have to ask if I have made a difference in this world, I KNOW IT. Is this pretentious? Is this crazy? Is this WEIRD?
AM I WEIRD?
I know you are there, I have my open arms willing to hug you, and my eyes sparkle connecting with my SPECIAL YOU, and with all of you. Simply, I AM ALIVE!
AM I WEIRD?
Maybe I am a WEIRD SURVIVOR, #survivingstill
AM I WEIRD? FEEL ME! because I am willing, to be the supporting EQUAL SIGN, that knows it will never be EQUAL because we’ll be changing every day, but SO willing to LEARN each day.
AM I WEIRD?
Because somehow, I AM HERE, even in my dreams. My subconscious lives with the second-by-second fight or fly, while my consciousness knows: THE RIVER OF LIFE is rocks, fish, water, atoms, energy, and dirt…..WE, THEY, US, YOU, and Me.
VIVA LA VIDA!!!! SOY UN SUPERVIVIENTE DEL VIH, POR 38 ANOS. La historia comenzo en el ano de 1985, y aqui estoy todavia. Mandandoles a todos mucho carino y agradecimiento. Apoyennos este Diciembre 01, y siempre. Gracias al universo por todavia tenerme aqui, aunque muchas veces no es facil. Sigamos ayudandonos, y diganme si puedo colaborar en algo este Diciembre 01. Las desigualdades que perpetúan la pandemia de sida no son inevitables; por supuesto que podemos abordarlas. En este Día Mundial del Sida, hoy 1 de diciembre, ONUSIDA insta a todos y cada uno de nosotros a abordar las desigualdades que están frenando el progreso para poner fin al sida. El lema “Igualdad ya” es una llamada a la acción, cuyo objetivo último es promover que todos nos pongamos a trabajar en todas aquellas medidas prácticas que se ha demostrado que son necesarias para tratar las disparidades y ayudarán a acabar con el sida.

To make people living with chronic pain feel like they are criminals is more pain on top of our pain.
WE ARE NOT CRIMINALS!
We know that there are people who abuse pain medication, but the majority of us are in horrible pain, and we take our medications as prescribed. I haven’t asked for more pills, or increased milligrams for about 10 years. But, every month I feel the policing from doctors, pharmacies, insurance and society.
STOP! Most people have no idea what are we feeling, but it is TRAUMATIC to be treated this way. The news about people dying of opioids, especially of Fentanyl, are not the people who are in chronic pain, most of them are people who are victims of addiction to other drugs, laced with Fentanyl and other drugs. SOCIETY, wake up! and help us by giving us options, and treating us better, but THE PRESENT WAY, IS NOT THE WAY!!!!
