"Vulnerability is the core of all emotions and feelings. To feel is to be vulnerable. To believe vulnerability is weakness is to believe that feeling is weakness. To foreclose on our emotional life out of a fear that the costs will be too high is to walk away from the very thing that gives purpose and meaning to our lives." — Brene Brown from "Daring Greatly"

Thanks for that Adrial! Aside from relating this to herpes, I can take this into my love life and relationships with other people that require me to be vulnerable.
