Herpes is the best thing to ever happen to me
A few months back I stumbled upon an awe-inspiring post about finding love because of having herpes. believe this woman's exact words were 'H is the best thing to ever happen to me'. Like most of you, the phrase itself baffled me beyond belief. How could you ever be so thankful for something that has made me so unbelievably insecure and terrified for the past 2.5 years of my life? I felt an overwhelming amount of happiness for this couple, but I did not think I would ever understand the feeling for myself.
After my diagnosis, I joined PositiveSingles. I was a member on PositiveSingles for over 2 years; too frightened to even respond to the messages from my matches, much less meet someone from the site. It seemed like a nearly impossible feat to ever connect with a human being - more so with someone from PS. If distance wasn't an issue, actually finding someone who truly met my every need always was.
On October 25th of last year, I made the fateful trek from Canton, OH to meet someone from PS for the first time - a handsome airplane mechanic from a small town in PA. After a few heavy shots of Jack Daniels and an hour car ride to Pittsburgh with this man - I quickly began to feel the overwhelming joy that having herpes would bring me. Had it not affected my life, Matt wouldn't have either.
Thanks to herpes - I met someone who would teach me what love is. Someone that embodies my same joy for living. Someone that accepts every inch of my being - good, bad, and unbearably ugly. Someone who inspires me to be a better person every day. Someone who is my best friend.
Everything in life happens for a reason - even this disease that makes life seem less worthy of living. Take it from me - and the many others who have found love and happiness despite their condition - H can be an amazing and beautiful addition to each and every one of you. Without it, I would likely have never met someone who makes me feel whole again.
Every tear I've cried seems meaningless compared to how hard I am able to laugh now. Every thought of self-hate and self-harm seems to diminish through someone else's loving eyes. And my seemingly empty heart now bursts every day that I am entirely loved by another human being.
Thank you Matt: for being this calm and loving presence in my life that was once a violent storm. Thank you to my gifter: without you, I would have never been set on the path that my life was delicately created for. And thank you to all of you: the daily reminder that support is near, someone truly understand, and knowing that there is LIFE AFTER H.
I can only hope that this inspires many of you to choose to unchain yourselves from the negative aspects of H, and instead use it as a solid ground to stand on while in search of a brighter and happier life. God bless each and every one of you and please know that you too will find calm in this storm.
