#ex stuff

7 years ago one of my exes told me (way before I started watching one piece) that he had a crazy ex that would watch one piece and snack on croutons straight out of the bag...7 years later I started watching one piece and eating croutons straight out of the bag.

I find it really interesting comparing how I game now versus how I gamed when I was in my relationship. When I got really into it during the final 6-8 months of the relationship, I was really hyperfixated and would spend hours upon hours playing. Unsurprisingly my ex was really unhappy about it and often accused me of using the game to ignore/neglect her and everything else in my life. I can’t say she was entirely wrong; everything was terrible, and I wasn’t ready to deal with it, so I used games as an escape. It was very unhealthy and extreme. 

Now, a year and a half later, I worried getting a console would catalyze that unhealthy behavior again. So far (about a week in), I’m finding it’s not the case at all. I play for a few hours, save, and put down the controller for the day. I do other things and tend to my responsibilities. I enjoy gaming as much as I did then, but I’m not using it as proverbial blinders for the shit I was facing. I’m not needing an safe place to go mentally/emotionally as much as I used to. 

I thought I was a hugely addictive gaming personality that could not stop games until I finished them. Now I realize how wrong that is when I am healthier and freer to be myself in my everyday life. 

Little things. Big progresses.

I think the highlight of my last relationship was when we were at my ex’s friends house sitting in the floor of his room and my ex tried to embarrass me by saying “she’s a big fan of Harry Potter” and when his pal said he liked Star Wars he said “yea well at least you don’t have Star Wars bedcovers” and without saying anything he stared into my ex’s eyes and pulled his duvet down from his bed to reveal mcfuckin Star Wars bedcovers

Yeah I dunno I’ve been off tumblr for a while because it’s where I met my ex, and my blog is basically 5+ years of him being the most important person in my life and it’s really hard to go through and delete every post that mentions him. It’s just a LOT you know? And with every old post I see, I’m reminded of how much I loved him. I miss tumblr, but I don’t particularly want to be active here again if that stuff is still lingering around in my archive. What would y’all do?

Okay, so I have absolutely nothing against Voltron or Lance, but I got my ex obsessed with the show and she stans Lance and now when I see him I get uncomfortable??

I wonder how much better off financially we'd be if Elliott and I never dated our shitty ex..... We footed the bill for three plane tickets across the country so he could stay with us, hotel rooms during the stays, gas, and food (then he'd proceed to treat us like shit after a day of being over with us) He used to make constant donations posts and then talk about hurting himself or worse because "he had no money no one cared about him" so we'd fucking donate to him, every time, before we wised up Like I emptied my savings for this asshole, just for him to treat me and Elliott like dirt Hindsight is 20/20 but man. If only I could go back and prevent us from ever meeting the brute.

Alright let me rant to you guys for a second. So I dated this guy for 2.5 years we had an open relationship and he still found a way to cheat on me by not being open about what was going on with him and another guy and having sex with this dude without telling me. Ok so I've been feeling like shit about it even though we haven't been together for 4 months now. I kept him on social media stuff because whatever. Anyway I found out he's dating this dude now and it felt like the ultimate slap in the face but also the final nail in the coffin. Deleted his ass from everything. Good FUCKING bye.

Graduation is this weekend, meaning my ex’s family will be in this cursed one-horse-town at the same time as me, which also means I will be emerging to attend my best friends’ commencement and then promptly going back home and waiting until the proverbial storm of narcissist libertarians finally passes over me and my house. 

Lol on the bright side this means my ex will be leaving soon and I will never ever have to cross paths with her, her unstable friends and family, and her bullshit ever again!! Pull the confetti canon, Kronk!
