Case of the Ex

Running into an ex is such an awkward thing. It's not too bad when it's happening, cause all that really comes up is the smaller things in life that don't matter much. It'll be like, "Hey! How are you doing?" and they'll just be like, "Oh, hi, I'm doing good. How are you?" then we'll say the same back. No detail. It's always just a usual, "I'm good." Because if you do say what you're really feeling like that kind of leaves you in the need to explain what's going on in your life for real, but you know you don't want to bore them and they just want to leave whenever the chance is given. Small talk leads the conversation, but there's not much to talk about unless you really go into depth. It's not too awkward to run into an ex, but once you get home and start thinking, Did I really just see (so and so)? And if it wasn't too bad a relationship that ended alright, you kind of just reminisce on how good the old times were. You sit there and think about how and why did this relationship crumble? This person used to be the one who made me laugh all the time, the one who'd make me smile for no reason, the person you'd talk to every day and all day, without getting tired of them. This is the person that you once gave your all to, your mind, your soul to. Yet, now you're only saying "Hi" and asking how they're doing. Knowing that, that one person who you're having small talk with at that moment, is the person that you almost saw your whole life together with. It's crazy to think about how time flies, it's crazy to think how one person can be "your world" and within a blink of an eye, this person is just now someone you catch up with at a gas station for 2 minutes.

Cherish every moment you can with the person you love. Reminiscing is never a bad thing, we always have a bit of time to think about how good the past was, but don't dwell on it to where that's all you think that's going to work for you. You have to move on from the situation. Just be thankful that person was in your life, even if it was a short period of time.

I'll keep this one short and sweet. Till the next post ladies and gents!

XOXO,
