Don't. No, don't say that.
« on: August 05, 2011, 10:02:00 pm »
God, despite poz, I met Ms Right.
Don't say poz means no love. Or hard to find.
Today I testify: it's bullshit.

So Hugs everyone !

Thank You MtD, since2005

Now, I heard sometime that a partner is hard to find; honnestly speaking, I don't know why one say that.
There are many looking, I can testify on that as well, poz or not.
What has been challenging for me, was to find Ms Right. Not my status.
It has never been a problem, or almost never.
Maybe because most of the time, I'm thinking as a neg person and I'm not even thinking about it, beside taking my pills and disclosing.

Good luck to all that are looking.
