The Bottom line is............

We are a group of special people. We are normal, everyday healthy individuals with something that nobody can take away from us! A virus called Herpes....

Alot of times people will have the feelings of guilt, anger, why me, if only I would have been more careful, and I think every single one of us have pondered that thought over and over, some for days, some weeks, months, and some like myself for many (20)years, but there comes a time when we all have to look ahead and realize it is not the end of the world, it is not the end of a social life, it is a new beginning in honesty, and being aware of what really can happen......HAPPINESS

Even though we have this unusal gift (actually, not really that unusual, just not talked about), there will be a day when you will be happy. So to all the newcomers in my herpes world.... keep your chin up, smile on your face, and know that we are all here to listen, help, advise, and if you need to ask questions, ask. There are plenty of us out in the world, who aren't even aware that there are groups like this. I look forward to them finding us! If I can say one thing on a positive note, if it wasnt for herpes we would never had the opportunity to meet such wonderful special people like ourselves!!!
