I’m from New York, and I want to tell you a little bit about my story before I start. I go into this list, and I have my notes here because I wanted to make sure that I said everything I needed to say but a little bit about myself. I’m an HIV activist. I came up positive for the HIV antibody test, and the moment that he told me that I was positive with that test and with the knowledge that I had about HIV at the time, I thought that It was a death sentence.

So for me, I was petrified that I felt like all of my dreams had been taken away. Everything stopped the question of why I was running through my head tears were flowing down my face thinking my life was completely over. I had to learn how to live with HIV all over again but in the experience of living With HIV and being reborn because that’s precisely what happened for me. I learned a lot, and I’m still learning to this day. So the main thing, though, that I had to learn was how to love myself, and that’s why I want to share that topic tonight.

This is prerecorded, of course, but I wanted to share it in this article because it was essential for me to learn that so that I can be what it is I need to be to reach the women to contact whoever it is that I needed to come that I need to go now. I am more than blessed to be where I’m at right now, and I wouldn’t take anything back.

Let me say that, and I’m grateful to have the tools now to take better care of myself. Still, it wasn’t easy, so if I can make that process easier for someone else by sharing my own experience, this is exactly what this platform is about, and I want to continue sharing these words of wisdom that I’ve gained through just life itself. I didn’t have a woman to teach me these things; I didn’t have somebody to tell me what it is. It needed to be said for me not to make those mistakes in life to do life open because that’s precisely what a missed stake is.

It’s a mistake you have to do it over like when you’re in the film, when you’re in a movie when you have to do take after take, you have to keep going and keep doing things wrong to do it right. Still, I want to know what I’m not going to say. I wish that I had somebody to tell me those things because it made me the woman I am now, and everything happens for a reason. so without further ado, I want to get into this list

Honest to yourself:

The first thing to do is to be honest with yourself, and I had to take responsibility; using my own experience as an example, take responsibility for where you’re at in your life. There’s nobody else’s fault that you shouldn’t be blaming anybody else for where you’re at in your life, but everything around you, the situation that you weren’t in, is because you chose for it to be that way. Stop blaming others for your anger. Stop blaming men who cheated on you or did you wrong or friends you’re not friends with anymore. Stop blaming them for your emotions. Find out where those emotions are coming from and learn to change that. All feelings are just signals for us to know and identify that there needs to be a change.

If it’s something that you are fed up with as far as the man I’m always with you, let me say it is to each other. When we tell ourselves that we’re tired of running Into the wrong men and tired of people treating us a certain way, people will only treat us a certain way without our acceptance. I’m getting into that a little bit later. It’s what you receive from those, but at the same time, taking responsibility means checking in with yourself, means looking in the mirror, and being able to say these things to you. It might be unfair to other people.

Could I apologize first to that person instead of waiting for them to apologise to me? Am I doing all that I can to help the situation that I’m in, whether it be with somebody or something that I’m in myself, whether it’s a financial situation or a relationship? Whatever the case, are you doing all that you can actually to help the problem and not make it worse?

2 Stop Comparing Yourself to others:

Be kind to yourself and stop comparing yourself to others. Jealousy can be your worst enemy if you constantly compare yourself to somebody. What they have and what you don’t have if you’re jealous of your ex finding love with someone else when It did work out for you. If you are desirous about somebody getting their blessings and you seem not to be getting yours, it will hinder you and keep you away from your blessings. Gordon is to help you get to them, stop comparing your life to others, and be kind to yourself to know that time is never wrong and that your time is coming, but you have got to focus on your morning instead of focusing on somebody else’s life.

3 Find Your Passion:

One way to find out your passion is to get off your bed. You have got to get off your bed and start moving. To find your love, you have to get connected with certain people. You have to go for online HIV Dating Sites to meet up with new people and learn new things and you can also get love there. You have to start at least looking for what it is that you have a passion for most of the time when you’re younger. We have talents in our talent is something that will never leave us. The only thing that happens is that we leave it, put it on the back burner, and forget about it. I’ve even had that experience. All of these are experiences that I’ve had but I had that experience with my artwork.
