My Experience with Yoga For Life

May Inner Peace be with you!


   "WHY  ME? I didn't do anything wrong, I never hurt anyone and in fact I was faithful. Why me?

                  I know people who are more promiscuous and they seem to be getting out without a scar
                   Why me? - ANGER

             
     "I feel GYPPED in my life" - DEPRESSION 


"I'm gonna DIE soon...."- FEAR


"FUCK! I got flu and rashes. How's my CD4?" - UNCERTAINTY


My life before I got HIV was good. The world was normal. I was so lucky with everything. I was dating, having fun, being in-love and being just myself.  I was living the life I wanted to be. Work hard Party harder.

I was already planning  to go abroad for a change when I got a reactive result to HIV! I did not tell anyone about it. I kept it a secret for several months. I blame my past and my previous relationship.  I had so much resentment in my heart that I kept asking why I have to suffer on this. I felt gypped that I no longer have the motivation to work. My fear every minute, every hour and everyday affected my performance at work. I felt like my life would end anytime soon either in San Lazaro Hospital or P.G.H or I might end up in a Mental Hospital.
