Love, Joy, And Spiritual Triumph In The Wake Of Genital Herpes

There is something about finding love in a time of adversity, finding companionship after enduring isolation, coming into the light after hiding in the shadows….

If this website helps one person (and it has probably helped many) get from the throes of sadness & loneliness through to the other side where the tears are gone and the smiles are ear-to-ear, then it is doing its job. Click Here to visit PositiveSingles and sign up for free to meet lots of really great singles who are honest like you about their HSV status.

Remember, if you have contracted genital herpes, especially if it was in a way that left you feeling betrayed or ashamed, please take a moment to remember that what doesn’t kill us most certainly makes us stronger. It is possible to look at the genital herpes as a lesson and yes it can affect the path of one’s life.

Depending on how you move forward, you might find yourself thanking the herpes (probably not ‘the infector’) for being your teacher and leading you to the true love of your life. Maybe that gave you a bitter laugh and thought to yourself that you would have been perfectly happy to have skipped this lesson in life, but you can consider yourself educated nevertheless – take from it what you will.

Here are some more thoughts for you if you are feeling sorry for yourself (and there is no shame in that!):

• When one door closes another door opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us. ~Alexander Graham Bell
• The healthy and strong individual is the one who asks for help when he needs it. Whether he’s got an abscess on his knee or in his soul. ~Rona Barrett
• If you’re going through hell, keep going. ~Winston Churchill
• The robbed that smiles, steals something from the thief. ~William Shakespeare, Othello
• Opportunity often comes disguised in the form of misfortune, or temporary defeat. ~Napoleon Hill

New Years’ Resolution: Find Your Soul-Mate

Believe it or not, the days are getting longer now, the Winter is concluding, and a new year has begun!

Why not get out there and find your true love?

If you are one of the legion of Vancouver singles saying to yourself: “I have herpes – who would want to go out with me” – please think again! The HSV / genital herpes virus is so common that even mainstream TV is starting to talk about it (sometimes awkward, but it’s bringing the topic ‘out of the closet’ – another article forthcoming!).

Some singles who are herpes positive even go so far as to judge others who are in the same situation, saying to themselves: “the herpes dating sites must be full of people I really wouldn’t find datable – yuck!”

NOTHING COULD BE FARTHER FROM THE TRUTH!

In fact, as many readers know, having the virus does not say much about you other than the fact that you have the virus. Also, the people who join the herpes dating sites are the ones who are of a mind to DISCLOSE (as opposed to those who do NOT disclose and expose partners to risk without their knowledge).

Here’s a suggestion – join up at PositiveSingles and find your true soul-mate this year! He or she is out there somewhere and you are going to be surprised how awesome the people on the site are. The one thing that all members have in common is that they are taking back the power, moving on in their lives, finding and embracing a ‘new normal’ and getting *the talk* out of the way before the first coffee date!
