Great interview! I could relate greatly to it on so many levels. When I did my interview with @adrial for the herpes opportunity guide/home study I went through a similar sense of FREEDOM in putting myself and my face out there. I will always be thankful to adrial for offering me that one last opportunity to de shackle myself from herpes and the the stigma that held me back. After discussing the interview opportunity with adrial and asking my H- man how he felt about it I took the last and final step towards my "fuck herpes" attitude. It was important to me to consult with my man even though my instinct was that it's not his decision to make it was up to me and he didn't get a vote...... but then I realized he DID get a vote because it wasn't just MY story. Well.... as a true testament to the man he is, he worried. He worried about ME. He didn't give a shit who I told, he just wanted to protect ME. That dialouge with him and Adrial's support and understanding through the thought process changed everything for me. I wanted to let it go, get it out and I wanted to be true to myself. It was a changing day for me, I didn't have to post it for the world to see for it to liberate me. Thanks to adrial, Ella and anyone else who is owning herpes and taking away it's power over them I give much props!
