| BEAUTY AND HEALTH / Maricon |
 |
 Beauty to me is important. In some ways I can gain confidence whenever I am beautiful. But you know, I believed in saying that Beauty is in the eye of the Beholder. That’s true! But I do believe also that if you are beautiful inside, it will see it in your face. I just want to share some of the few things that happened to me when I first know that I am HIV positive. My world was totally gone upside down. I felt very sad and nervous. It’s a mixed emotion if I may say. You’re asking why? Because some of my friends asked me what is happening to me that time. I’m a very jolly person. But when I found out that I am HIV positive I became sad/lonely, or maybe you can call it as a negative feeling. And would you believe that they knew that I have a problem? I asked them why they know that I have a problem; they told me that they can see it in my eyes or even in my face and even in my actions. Now I know that whatever the things we are keeping inside our heart or mind it will come out. So after I realized that, I always think of the happy moments and memories I have in my entire life. Be with my family, with my friends, and even with other people whom I met once. I always think of the positive that will come into my life. Anyway any negative thought has a positive side, right? So be happy, feel beautiful because it will come out in you. |
