World's AIDS Day

Inspi(RED)


December is an especially important month for me, not because of the holidays but because December 1 is Worlds AIDS Day. In my line of work, I have met many HIV positive people. I'm not going to lie, it is completely heart breaking. It is still difficult for me to understand and grasp a world with such technology, to not have a cure for HIV AIDS or CANCER. It's seriously mind boggling to me.

I encourage all my readers to throw support out this month. Find a cause that you believe in, and take some sort of action. Whether it be donating if you can, brushing up on reading or reaching out to someone in need. I can't help but feel guilty sometimes, complaining about things that really are insignificant, compared to the troubles of others. I commend anyone who stands up and supports something they believe in, whether or not I agree with them. 

Last night I got a little crazy during an online feud. My local news station had posts up about supporting gay marriage. It makes me completely infuriated reading "debates" about gay marriage. Anyone who knows me, knows that I am a big supporter. I have lots of gay friends, actually more like an army. I was lucky enough to have been raised by very loving and accepting people. They passed onto me the ability to have LOVE for anyone I choose to bestow it upon. Okay, so I probably shouldn't have taken the bait and read it...because I got into multiple arguments with people. Anyway, I guess my point of even bringing it up is this: if you're going to form a public opinion to debate---you better know all your ins and outs and defend your view. Get out of the kitchen baby! I am actually proud to say, that a lot of the comments written were pro gay marriage and written very eloquently.
