Hi Anita,

I had another therapy session and this week I have a task to write a letter to my ex. I will not be giving it to me but my therapist says sometimes it helps us see things from a different perspective once we visualize them. he says when you write your thoughts down you are adding reality to them and as such we tend to be more objective on the things that we read.  it helps de-personalize it and takes out the biased from the situation.  then next I am going to write a list of qualities that I am looking for in friends and possibly a future partner.

this is something that I am willing to try. talking about looking for someone we can depend on in our lives, this describes exactly what I was going through at the time that I met Christopher.  I had just lost my sister, the only other person that I shared really deep secrets with.  that month had been a gruesome month.

My younger sister died from AIDS. whenever I think of her my heart breaks. I found all this out in the same month that she passed.  the worst part is I also got to learn that Both my parents are HIV positive and had been living with this disease for a very long time and no one had bothered to tell me about it. a month after finding out the truth about her illness my sister passed.  it’s at this point that I met Christopher.  the fact that he was able to share with me his own life story and that his mother was equally positive is something that made me bond with him so quickly.  it felt like I could relate to him.

I will write more about it in my post.

Regards,

Elizabeth.
