​Things To Do Instead Of Texting Your Ex

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!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
