We have all had those times where we really start to miss our ex flame, and wonder what they have been up to lately. Maybe it happens when you are back in your hometown and you start to reminisce on all of your memories, or after a long night of drinking where your drunk alter ego has your worst interest in mind.
Whatever the reason is, we all know its never a good idea to contact your ex. Ever. I mean whens the last time you drunk texted an ex and something good actually came out of it? Exactly.
So to spare the embarrassment, and the shame we feel after hitting up our ex, here is a list of all the things you can do instead of texting them.
1. Clean your room
I'm not just talking about a light cleaning either, Marie Kondo that shit sis, fully commit.
2. Take a walk
It's good for your body and your mind! Plus we all need some outdoor activities every once in a while.
3. Learn a new skill
Watch a webinar on a topic that interests you, read a "how to" article, or watch some youtube videos. I highly reccommend resorting to YouTube if you are trying to stay busy because we all know how easy it is to get sucked into that rabbit hole.
4. Go shopping
Everybody loves to shop, and what better way than to stay occupied than some retail therapy.
5. Cook a new meal
Cooking is actually really fun if you have the time to focus on a recipe and perfect it.
6. Workout
This is probably my personal favorite option, because you are bettering yourself while at the same time probably getting that revenge body Ms. Khloe Kardashian inspired us all to have.
Those are just a few options, but the bottom line is just don't do it. You'll thank me later when the urge to text them goes away and you move on with your life again with the peace of mind of knowing you didn't give them a reason to contact you. They are an ex for a reason and don't forget it!
