Why is it that exes still seem to affect your day? People become exes for many reasons... ex-boyfriends, ex-girlfriends, ex-husbands, ex-wives, ex-bff's... etc. They cheated, or lied, or didn't love, or didn't give, or didn't care. Plain and simple... they didn't work out. And it's most likely for the better. In all of my cases with exes, it's ALWAYS for the better. Thank GOD.

So here's the deal. Exes are in the past. Exes are no longer a part of your daily life, nor are they part of your everyday concern like they once previously were. Especially exes from the more distant past. In my case, my exes didn't love enough, didn't give what I deserved, and they know it. In fact, I still hear about it.

Let me say this... exes are in the past for a reason and I have EVERY intention of leaving them there. Do I think that exes can be friends? Yes. But honestly, I think it's a lot easier to be friends with an ex that didn't leave a scar or a bruise or a guarded wall. The greater the heartbreak with an ex, they more difficult it is to be friends. I find this in my case, at least.

Now, I've done the whole "break up, get back together" bull sh**. And honestly, the moment one person in a relationship (non-marital) decides they need a break, then just end it. Don't keep going back and forth, just let go. I could have saved myself SO MUCH TIME and energy and effort and tears. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret my decisions because I've learned immensely from them, but oh my gosh, looking back... Wow. WOW.

To this day, I still have exes emailing me apologizing for what had happened, for how they treated me, etc etc etc. Do I respond? No. I don't ever want them thinking they have even the slighest chance with me again. Besides, they're not worth the effort it takes to type out a wordly response anyway. Point is... for any exes that read this... knock it off. Regardless, I'm glad you feel the deep regret that you do. You deserve it.

To be hypocritical in a way... I'm really only friends with my freshmen year high school boyfriend, Jake. He and I have been more like brother and sister from the beginning. We only see each other a few times a year, but it's always a good time. On random occasion, I'll talk to an other ex of mine, but it's primarily for technology help cuz he's genius when it comes to that stuff. But that's about it. My most recent ex... well... he's the fungus on the dirt on the ground that I walk on. He and I will never speak again, thankfully.

I don't really remember what I was trying to get to here... I've been random the past few weeks. I think I need to claim my mind again cuz I think I've lost it.

Bottom line: exes are in the past and they're not anywhere in my future.
