Many of the articles out this morning were focused primarily on cultural issues & their relationship with HIV. There were quite a few on groups, ethnicities & regions I'm not involved with including; domestic violence & how it correlates with HIV.
Most were probably perfectly fine pieces, but not in my wheelhouse. Then why am I discussing them? I realize there are a lot of works over HIV that simply do not pertain to me. That doesn't make them lesser, it just means that they aren't what I post about.
It's OK to be selective & critical. I like comic books. I don't like all comics & don't bother with a large percentage of them out every month. There are topics, styles, storylines, etc... I don't find interesting. Even with the comics I do like, I can get very critical of them & drop them for a while or forever.
Just because you like something, doesn't mean you like everything pertaining to it. You might, but you don't have to. I like cheese, but I'm not a cheese fanatic. There are cheeses I definitely do not like. Some people put cheese on things I would never want it on. That doesn't mean that I don't like cheese.
Strange venues I know, cheese & comics. But when you write about something, you need a focus, especially when it's a broad topic. If you don't hone in, your writing won't have main topic. HIV is a umbrella subject now, not a focused topic. I'm interested in things that relate to me, my area, my situation. That's what I try to write about.
That's all for now, take care.
Cya...
