today is national AIDS day
k so today was a big deal:
Yesterday at work my dad and the man he's working for ,were talking and this man told my dad how he was part of this AIDS organization in the city.Mr.Rose then decided to ask my dad to come along to this benefit they were holding today for national world AIDS day.My dad being the great dad is he asked if I could go cause he thought it would be a good idea for me to be part of this.Ofcourse Mr. Rose gave my dad the whole speech on how young kids today need to know about this epidemic and blah blah said it would be a good idea.So last night my dad asked me if I wanted to go to the organization's event today.Ofcourse me being gay just wanted to go to the city and cut school so ofcourse I agreed to go. But yeahs I woke up early this morning and went with my dad into the city and meet with Mr. Rose at the benefit.We went into this huge like conference room and listened to all these people give speeches.You would think that it would be boring and stuff but like it impacted me so much. I heard like all these people talk about how they lived with AIDS and how it makes you really sick and destroys your life. It was just really sad to know that it was such a big deal and I had no idea any of it. They said how people in America don't consider AIDS harmful anymore cause now since you can live with AIDS for a longer time no one cares, but truthfully it still kills you faster then a healthy person and still eats away at your system.It was really so alarming and disturbing to hear some people's storys.One women told us how she got diagnosed with AIDS when she was just my age and how while all her friend's were having their sweet 16's she was in the hospital taking pills and getting tests done.It was so sad I just started crying.Like how can she live with this and have enough strength to go through it and tell people. I couldnt believe what some of this people were saying and stuff.Like it was so sad to hear their stories and I just feel so useless that I'm not doing anything for any of this or anyone for that matter.I dont know like I really wish I could do something but like the most I can do though is tell you guys about everything I heard today and how AIDS really is a big deal.And I'm sure I sound really dumb and activist-e but I dont care.I'm just really glad that I went today and found out about it.The rest of the day I spent with my dad in the city and we went out to lunch and yeahs it was lots of fun.BUT anyways i think i'm just going to shut up now.eks and im like embrassed now? idn.lol.hope school was fun? ah idn.byes♥
