Keeping Up With the Kardashians Haiku, Season 15, Episode 1

YAY!! They’re back!!! And what a way to start Season 15….you can find my Pinnable/IG postable Kardashian haikus at the end of this post. I’ll be following up my little episode recap with five fabulous ones!

First of all, I love these women, every one of them. I speak as one of four sisters. I respect their bond, their heartaches, their authenticity. Kudos, Mama Kris, for producing such a lovely family.

My main feeling after this episode is that I’m both worried and excited for Kourtney! What’s going on? She seems like she’s had enough of the Kardashian franchise! She called the current state of affairs disgusting. She says she cares a lot more about being with her family than she does about money. Overall, I get the impression from her strident words and body language that she’s unhappy. Has she reached the end of her rope with the TV business?

I’m taking a wild guess that she’s feeling a huge shift in her life as the reality of Scott’s moving on to another relationship hits home. She’s in another relationship, too, at least at the time of filming. They both started dating much, much younger people! So everything has turned kind of upside-down for her. Some people are also saying they think she’s taking hormones so she can freeze her eggs, and that can wreak havoc with your moods. Who knows? I can’t speculate. That’s her business to divulge if and when she feels like it.

It’s also entirely possible that her therapy experience is simply making her more able to communicate with her family. She specifically mentions in her Tweets how she’s trying not to hide her emotions anymore. If this is the issue, I hope everyone holds her hand as she navigates this new honesty, which can be very scary to embrace, not only for her family but especially for Kourtney, if she’s used to living in denial.

At any rate, Kim said some pretty awful things to her this episode. I can’t say I blame Kim for losing her cool. Kourtney was being pretty stubborn and uncooperative about the family Christmas photo shoot. I’ve never seen them exchange such harsh words. I’ve heard that in the early seasons they did, and often. However, in the early seasons, they were a lot younger. Kim turned 37 in this episode. Kourtney is 39. I’m not saying that older sisters can’t fight. Some of my worst fights with my sisters have been when we were older. All I’m saying is that the fights carry more weight the older we get. It’s too easy to turn away and focus on your kids and your marriage or relationship and ignore the sister bond.

So Khloe, Kim, and Kourtney, good luck! I feel pretty reassured…I can see they’ve talked about this fight on Twitter, and they’re saying they’re “ride or die.” Hurrah! Some cynics say these television and Twitter arguments are all for ratings. But the truth is, the Kardashians haven’t lasted fifteen seasons because they’re fake. There’s something that feels very authentic about them, which is why people tune in. I never thought I would, but my daughter convinced me to a couple seasons ago. I was very skeptical, yet I’ve been hooked ever since. Yes, I’m late to the Kardashian game, but I can still write a haiku from the heart about each episode, right? I hope you enjoy them.

Remember, haiku are five syllables in the first line, seven in the second line, and five in the third line. It’s a disciplined approach to writing poetry, and you have to distill your complex feelings down to only a few words. Spending time writing haiku is a small but memorable way for me to celebrate sisterhood, motherhood, and family–and the Kardashians, of course!!

Love,
