Affirmation: 2/4/2024

I don’t have it all figured out. I don’t know all of the answers. I don’t have a reason for why this happened to me, or even if there is one.

I’m still writing my story, still finding myself amidst statistics and moments of self-defeat. “Why me? Who will love me? Who will want me now that I have this?”

I am giving myself permission to step away from the herpes research and stereotypes. I am removing myself from society’s labels. I am allowed to find myself again.
