Exes. Sigh.

To the Ex-Boyfriends of the world:

Please realize you are an ex for a reason.  I don't care how horny, lonely, bored, nostalgic, or how much you  miss me, please, just...don't try and contact me.

If for some reason, you cannot help yourself, just do us both a favor & make your intentions known from the get-go.  Don't send me some lame "how are you" text...if you wanna hook up, be honest.  If you just want to say hi b/c you're feeling nostalgic, say so.

Don't send ambiguous texts that could mean a zillion things.  As little as a  month & a half ago, I would've caved so fast & responded & walked down this road...again. This time, I don't even feel the need to respond...am I curious? of course!! Also, I was a little annoyed..Like, WTF. we BROKE UP.  I had such a sense of finality. Our conversation didn't really seem like there was any sort of possibility for us to reconcile again.  But, yeah, I'm still a little curious as to what the eff he wants.

Sure, at one point, I thought Nate could be "it." & I know he felt the same about me too.  But, we were  both wrong. I took off my rose-colored glasses & was able to see the flaws in our relationship.

I'm happy. Like, really happy. Things are going well w/my career, my life in general, I'm DATING again...yeah, The Boy & I are like, brand new & not even really official or anything close to it, but the fact remains: there is someone else in my life.  My heart isn't Nate's anymore. It hasn't been for awhile.

I even noticed The Boy when Nate was still kinda in the picture...which is a big thing b/c I was just not interested in noticing anyone other than Nate for most of our on-again-off-again-romance.

I just seriously don't understand why exes can't stay where they belong.  At least it's not...josh!!
