Life as we all know it can change so quickly... that you don’t even have time to think about it changing before it changes again. I thought that I had a lock on things right up until I met someone new. He was a perfect stranger to me. I talked to him anyway. His name is a secret and will remain that way. He is an interesting person thus far in our friendship. He’s very open and up front about everything. I fell that he would and could do just about anything for me. Why is all of this so interesting? The man we speak of is HIV+. Clearly there is nothing wrong with this. So he had some unsafe sex when he was younger. It really could happen to just about anyone, but it happened to him. He is a beautiful man. His life, as far as love goes, has been slightly hindered by choices he made long ago.
How would it be... to have a wonderful life, loving it, living it, and be told that your choices while you were “living” are the reason you are now dying? I don’t know this for a fact, but I could believe that before this news my new friend might have been shy, and not as open. I consider myself to be shy and open, but if I am told I am dying I might try to get to know everything about the world before I have to leave it all behind.
I am convinced... that this man is someone that I could fall in love with, or just be great friends with. At any rate, he got me wondering about life and just how quickly something can come along and change itself on you…
