I have been living with herpes for about 4 years and have allowed myself the time and patience to accept that it is a part of me but does not define who I am. I live my life freely but I've lied, I've let people down and I have regrets. I know I'm not anywhere close to being perfect, but I'm real. I dwell on my past and dream of my future while the present seems to take care of itself. I'm beginning to lose faith in the things I used to believe in so strongly. I often have conflicting thoughts and I'm extremely indecisive. I dream big and believe on magic and true love. People accuse me of falling in love easily. It just means that I'm able to see the beauty in most of the people who cross paths with me and I appreciate it for what it is and also for what it isn't. Love is imperfect. Falling for someone's flaws is just as necessary as falling for their strengths. And people like myself, who fall into love easily, are sometimes the loneliest souls around at the end of the day.
