LEMONAIDS :: One of my favorite songs by Queen. “These are The Days of Our Lives” was one that, for the past six years, I used as a reflection of what life was for me before HIV. At this time of year – the anniversary date of my HIV diagnosis – I find myself thinking of this song and reflecting.
This year is different for me. Though I still live the song, it is no representation of the reflection that I have about my being HIV-positive. I find that I now reflect on how my life has changed, hugely and for the better. I would not change a thing! I think of what I have done in the past six years, the experiences I have had, the people that I have met and the love that I feel in my heart. I don’t know how different my life would have been but I certainly know that it wouldn’t have been the same if I wasn’t set on the path I began six years back.
Like the man on the soap opera says, these are the days of our lives. I embrace them.
Live, love and laugh peeps!
