Let me start by saying on top of having a very slow computer I have very poor grammar skills. However I need to get everything off my mind before I feel like I will explode from having to put on a persona. I found out after a straight week of urgent care visits that I have contracted herpes. Side note, I hope to hell the aren't lying when they say the first outbreak is the worst because physically my downstairs department can't take anymore. Had I known that conversations of " You know, I will take care of you if you want to go to school" had been a bullshit conversation that led to "Hey your underwear rubbed against me a bit I have a rash." I should've looked, I could've changed the outcome, I would've been writing a different post today. After being in a serious relationship I just wanted the warmth of someone against my body, the look of desire in their eyes when they met mine, and all the other hopeless romantic bullshit that came with it too. I find myself in this weird state of mind now. One moment I'm grieving with the wonder if a husband and kids are still on the table anymore and the occasional cry that looks like I'm off of a lifetime movie. Watch out Kim Kardashian my cry may have surpassed you on the not so cute crying face scale. haha... Frustration stems from not hearing more people open up about living with herpes. See the statistics say I am not alone in this yet.. I feel like I'm in another dimension.. SO if there is anyone else out there going through this journey with me please reach out, It'd be nice to find out any remedies' to decrease the pain, how your journey is coming along, anything....
