Some Chick in SF $25.00
Dear Cameron,
I don't know you, but I wanted to reach out and tell you that I am rooting for you, and see you as a brave, fun, sexually liberated soul with a tough road ahead.
I sincerely hope that your fellow man does not make it harder by casting judgement or ostracizing you. I hope people step up, especially those in the industry, and show you immense love and kindness to give you that boost your spirit and wallet need right now.
Sex is great. Porn is great. It's a tragedy that there is a virus that is spread by something as awesome as fucking...but that's all that it is: a virus. It has nothing to do with you as a person.
Remember that.
Some advice:
- Read some Eckhart Tolle
- Don't get too caught up in social media; turn it off if it's becoming a negative force.
- Continue to be candid and honest about this experience - it's fucking refreshing and will continue to destigmatize Poz people.
- Educate the haters - a lot of people judge Poz people because they are seriously misinformed.
- Exercise. For your sanity and vanity.
- Listen to good music - as Bob Marley says, "the one good thing about music, when it hits you feel no pain."
- Lean on your gays - no one understands and doesn't judge what you're going through more than gay men.
- Laugh. Smile. Cry. Travel. Eat Tacos. Breathe. Etc
- Don't do anything self destructive. This is not a death sentence by any means. You are going to be around for a looooooong time, so don't switch into "I have nothing to live for" mode. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
- Lastly - for real - move to San Francisco. You will never find a city that is more well accommodated financially, spiritually and emotionally for people living with HIV. The services available for no or low cost here are unlike any other place on the planet.
All the best. Much love,
"Some Chick in SF?
