Hey Alex — I remember those days well though they feel like a distant memory in the rearview mirror today. I promise, you’ll get there too! The travel will help 🙂 Sending you lots of happy, healing vibes x

I’m preparing for my own first solo travel experience right now in the wake of the most excruciatingly painful breakup of my life after I discovered something absolutely devastating that my (now ex) boyfriend did. Though you didn’t give details here, I see my story and my pain woven through your words, especially in the post you published a year after this happened. To trust my intuition is also the number 1 lesson I’ve learned from this breakup so far.

Thank you for this post. Seeing all you’ve accomplished since this happened to you gives me hope for the future in a time when the pain of what happened is so indescribably deep and debilitating that it’s a struggle to even get out of bed. Really, thank you. You’re an inspiration.

Hey Ashley, I’m so sorry to hear that. You definitely don’t need to know what you’re going to do just yet. Sometimes these posts are indeed painful and difficult to write, but it makes it all worth it when I read comments like this letting me know they’ve helped someone through a hard time. I know where you are right now and it’s awful. But all the clichés are true — you will smile and laugh and love again! Thinking of you x

Hi Myryah, thank you so much for this, and I’m sorry we didn’t get to meet up before I was off again. We should make plans next time I am in Brooklyn, though it will involve some travel as the girls are no longer in Taaffe!
