Today is World AIDS Day!

as is every other day that i wake up with its reality...

i am just very thankful to be (still) here. each dose a toast to all i give and share, everyone I love and those who generously love me, each prayer an extension of my faith in the bright future that lies ahead for me.

in light of this, I've been thinking alot about and recontextualizing the lyrics to a song by one of my favorite artists, Omar

Winner

show me how
I want to make things grow
and I'll live my life
and you can let me know
feel the strength in me
to take the full control
of the trials of my life
until my body's old

I'm a winner (X 4)

i feel it deep inside
i been handed the man's blessing
i had it told to me in truth
gave my life better meaning
many lessons of life
so many well worth teaching
i'm gonna share all i can
or my life ain't worth living

come with me
through life's long corridors
and I'm sure we'll find
one of those secret doors
making sense of time
so that there'll be some more
of that passion in our lives
let everybody know

i'm a winner!
