What I Learned While Isolating Myself


Image

My name is Angel, yes I have HIV, and this is my second time blogging on here. It’s been awhile…because I was going through something. My best thinking led me to believe that isolating from everyone as much as I could was what was best for me and what was best for everyone else. I was going through a dark valley...depressed. I was angry at myself for not being able to keep it together as I thought I should. I wrote two books. I struggled maintaining the solutions that I both talked about and wrote about. I am a believer in God. I know how to inspire everyone else BUT myself. I didn't want to disappoint anyone. My failures were obsessively rehearsed every night like an unwanted negative lullaby song that was stuck in my head. It was both repetitive and ridiculous. I couldn't make the mark and I couldn't meet the mark I created.
