5 Reasons NOT to Answer When He/She Calls

     In purposeful oblivion to the cheese that certainly drips from this choice of topic in an attempt to be relevant to this season of love (check the date)--- I will yet proceed. Because I know you, and I know that you need these reminders, now more than ever. Or more accurately, I know myself. When the stores turn pink, chocolate boxes make their planet invasion, and heart decorations are inescapable, it sure makes it hard to stay determined on your resolve to give a complete cold shoulder to HIM. (or HER, guys you're weak too!)

     You know who HIM or HER is. That guy/girl you reluctantly broke up with but you know it was for the best. Now all of a sudden because of the climate you are starting to think of him/her...Why was it you stopped talking to him/her??? Uh huh. Let's think.

#1. Because You're OVER.
I know it seems like an obvious fact that I don't need to remind you of. But I do. Sometimes we forget that we and that person are actually no more. Don't fantasize about the man or woman as if you still were a couple. That ship is sailed. Earth to person! Let's live in the realm of reality. Which brings me to...

#2. Because S/He's an EX.
You've heard it before: an ex-lover is an EX for a reason! Please don't be ditzy and do me a favor. Recount all those wonderful thousands of smart epiphanies you had as you realized why he/she was all wrong for you. If those reasons haven't changed then neither should your mind nor your actions (as in- staying away from him or her!).

#3. Because You're BUSY.
It's scientific fact. To get over something or someone- one needs to replace their space with another. So get up off your lamenting booty and relish in your hobbies. That way you just might miss that phone call when s/he attempts and you won't have to go through that "what do I do??" dilemna staring at your phone ringing because you are waaay too busy to notice anyway! I personally have school, work, and personal dreams that I'm chasing.

#4. Because S/he speaks Chinese. And you don't.
Or at least it seems like it. You know the communication problems you had. You say one thing s/he hears another and takes it running. S/he says something and inside you understand it as gibberish. Why. Why do you want to torment yourself? Even if you answer the phone you will just end up all frustrated and pissed because you could not have a straight conversation. Save your breath and ears for conversation that's meaningful.

#5. Because You KNOW ALREADY.
It was King Solomon who said "there is nothing new under the sun." And this is true. The number fifth reason (and ultimately the best reason!) is that you and dude/dudette have been through this before. You already know what they're going to say. You already know they say crazy things that are going to make you mad. You already know they don't really care about you, but more so for themself, and thus will make insensitive comments. You already know they also just might try to run that game of memory lane and "why don't we try it again". But you already know you don't want to do that. So then. Stupidity comes from going against *sensical knowledge. Don't be stupid. You already know.

*Yes i made this word up. So what go tell yo mama! It makes sense.

Alrighty Blogland Sweeties I leave you with an inspirational song to keep you focused during this desperate and ugly lonely time. Lol. You will make it. Don't turn back....The song is "I Won't Go Back." Love. it.
