As I approach my 45th birthday, I am confronted with several facts:

1. I have spent my entire remembered life coping with severe and chronic emotional pain.
2. No treatment or therapist has ever been effective for me.
3. No one, to my knowledge, has ever fallen in love with me.
4. I have never been able to achieve my major life goals of finding a “life-mate” and having a family.
5. I do believe chosen love exists, though I have never experienced it.

That, as the Buddhists would say, is my dharma.
