Ever notice that ex's are a lot like herpes?

[HerryTheHerp]

 

Have you ever noticed that ex's are a lot like herpes? You never know when they're gonna show up. You never know how long they're gonna stick around. They're a real pain in the ass when they arrive and you just might have to bite your lip a few times. Most people medicate themselves until they're gone. And, once they disappear, a sense of relief washes over you that feels unlike anything you've ever felt before. Last, but not least, you'll cautiously await the moment they're going to pop back up which you hope won't be for a very, very long time.

 

That's how I feel today. It's a long, long story, and I'll get around to telling it one of these days, but for now, suffice it to say that it took me 17 years, but after getting the few final pieces of the puzzle organized these past few months of communicating with her, everything finally fits together inside the book, I know how the story ends, and I can at last close that chapter of my life once and for all. It feels absolutely liberating.

Yay for herry !! Its best to close and let go of things u kno wont work... oh how well i kno that now and i shldve listened to my own conscious ( long story as well completely unrelated to herpes but was a past relationship) ... good for u !!

I think I would rather deal with an outbreak than a few of my exes....

 

Nothing feels a good as closure. Especially after such a long time.

I'm fortunate that I'm at peace with all my ex's AND Herpes ... I only have 1 ex who I expect I will never be 100% over but I've made peace with that too .... sometimes someone will live in a small corner of your heart forever, and that's ok, as long as they stay there ;)
