If you’re mainly right-brained, like I am, then the title of this article will sound as mystifying to you as trigonometry sounded in high school. Solve for x? Hard pass. Love is totally an emotional construct that’s governed by our hearts, not logic…right? Ehhh, kinda. The first time my mother, a devout follower of all things astrological and mystic, mentioned numerology to me, it sounded uninteresting. Ever since my eighth grade pre-algebra teacher bestowed upon me my first ever “C” on a report card, I promised myself I would swear off all things mathematical for the rest of my days and carry around a pocket calculator, everywhere should if I ever be in a store trying to figure out the final cost of a pair of Sperrys that were 35% off.
