Quarantine Procrastinating and I am Ok with that!
I will start focusing on exercising more...I will really dedicate time to duolingo....I will read more...I will start reaching out to old friends.....I will teach myself a new skill....I am going to start my Youtube Channel. All of these statements could be heard around the world at the start of quarantine. I was definitely one of those people. I had high hopes of exercising more, reading more, eating better, watching Netflix less and creating new projects. Well here I am day 60 of quarantine...maybe less. (SN: I live in one of the states that were the last to receive stay at home orders.) Out of all the items I had on my quarantine list only one out of the five I can say I have truly dedicated myself on improving. So I am definitely patting myself on the back but this story isn't to share my weak 1/5 success story. lol. This story is to share the idea that it is okay to feel hopeless during these times, it is okay not to be motivated, it is okay that Netflix and Hulu have received a lot more of your attention. We are living in a new normal (SN: Maybe if the tv show new normal was released during quarantine it would have been more of a success. The world will never know lol) that is definitely taking some time to adjust to and the mystery of when will things get back to normal are definitely the thought luring in everyone's mind. During these times I am not challenging you to reinvent yourself into the person that you have always wanted to be I am challenging you stay hopeful, stay positive and be grateful of the blessings that you have (family, job, quarantine bae, pets, coworkers, etc.) it may be hard to believe right now but we will get through this and we will come out stronger than ever! Until then, take pride in the little accomplishments that you may have managed during your quarantine time. If you managed to go on one walk during quarantine give yourself a pat on the back because something is better than nothing. I am here for the small success stories.

Tips to Be Your Ideal Self
Fitness remains one of the most intimidating elements of modern life for many people. Modern life often isn’t conducive to fitness, and it often doesn’t demand fitness, which means it’s all up to the individual to maintain their own level of fitness via exercise in their spare time. This can be intimidating, because people have this preconceived notion that going to the gym will make them a target of mockery by more fit people occupying the gym. This, however, is mostly false, as people at the gym tend to be encouraging of people trying to get themselves together. That being said, there are a number of factors that go into your overall fitness that you should address, starting with the two most prominent.

Screw it! I'll just ask for help
When I first read Brené Brown's book "Rising Strong" I couldn't believe that someone could describe what I had been going through so perfectly. Someone finally put words on all the feelings I have had during my teenage and adult years—and on the feelings of probably hundreds of thousands of people around the world.

My Battle with Lyme Disease and Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever During the Covid19 Pandemic
Several months ago I started feeling so fatigued that I couldn't get out of bed. Working a 9-5 was my biggest challenge in ways that didn't make sense: I simply couldn't wake up in the morning. In addition to this I started getting strange virus like symptoms, landing myself in the ER where I was sent home with a "general virus" diagnosis and a thousand dollar medical bill.

Obviously, at the origin of the current pandemic is a new virus for science that we do not know how to deal with. But it also adds that, at the end of January, we were unable to understand the information available and foresee that an uncertain future was coming. We fell into an excess of confidence.

In 2020, How Do We Talk About HIV?
Author’s note: A previous version of this piece was published on The Huffington Post in 2017. With so many significant changes to the fight against HIV/AIDS in terms of the success of PrEP, new information about what it means to be undetectable, a dizzying array of political issues, the arrival of the coronavirus pandemic, and through it all an additional 2 million new HIV cases globally, I felt that now more than ever, this piece needed to be updated and reshared. While cases of sexually transmitted infections have most likely fallen temporarily as social distancing have been put in place to drastically varying degrees depending on location, it is to be expected they will return along with previous social norms.
