I have come to the conclusion that break-ups suck. The mention of an ex’s name, a few bars of the first song you danced to, even a special food you once shared can trigger a tidal wave of emotions to come crashing into you all at once; anger, pain, sadness, relief, confusion, many and more. No matter what the cause of a break-up, no matter the end result, these feelings can linger for a very long time. So, what would you say to your ex?

“Suck my a$$.”

“Sorry I wasn’t as interested in you as I pretended to be.”

“Kinda creepy and immature how you stalked me senior year of high school after we broke up.” 
 
-E.A
 
“I would love to say that we can be friends, and maybe one day we will, but right now I’m just too enraged to see the good in you anymore.”

“I know who I am now and I’m glad you gave me this chance to discover who I am.”

“I don’t think that there was anything we could have done to prevent us breaking up, it just such we were together for so long, were we just wasting time?”
