I’d dreamt Marc would kiss me at midnight in Times Square as the ball dropped, but instead I was meeting with Sara, an astrologer, an outlandish remedy for the pain I felt over the end of my fairy tale romance. This meeting offered me a lifeline of hope.

I won’t bore you with the technicalities, but the way I see it I’m in the really fun stage of healing from PTSD where I purposely trigger flashbacks to try and file the memories nice and neatly (and finally processed) back in my brain. It’s exhausting. It exacerbates every single symptom. But, it has to get worse for it to get better — and I personally quite enjoy the idea of a life not plagued by paranoia, disassociation, and flashbacks....

First, let’s agree that it is difficult to find love. If it were easy, then there wouldn’t be thousands of articles written to help us navigate our relationships and therapy offices full of couples and individuals seeking help and direction with their relationships....

However, it’s much less of a surprise when you realize that the whole thing might just be a tax write-off so that the Kardashians/Jenners can save their money....
