Do not text him (or her).
I know you want to, but don't.
What are you going to get out of it?
Do you actually care about how they're doing or what they're doing? Do you want to talk about the weather or how their favorite team is playing? Do you think they're actually going to respond with what you want to hear?
"I miss you, can we try again?"
"I screwed up. I'm sorry."
As much as I want to tell you it's going to happen, it won't and if it does, you won't feel any better about it.
Generally, he (or she) isn't going to say that. What is going to happen is he (or she) may respond, or they might read it and go about their business, like they did before --- leaving you alone, to overthink, unable to eat, to sleep, to think or do anything besides wait for the stupid response of "hey" or "what's up?"
It's never worth it, because it's never worth being the one waiting. You're stronger, and better than that.
You're not the one who sits and waits around, but the one who doesn't ever notice when they texted you. You're in control, the one who doesn't need their response, or attention to feel good about life, about yourself.
This is for the girls (and boys) who are about to text the boy (or girl) that they know they shouldn't, the one that broke their heart. This is for those who are about to make a massive mistake and text someone that they have really no business texting.
It's for the women and men who are about to ruin all that they stand for with a simple, "Hey", "what's up?" or "I miss you." Here's to you guys.
1. Call your Mom. Because Moms seriously make everything better and are an open ear. Seriously, just do it.
2. Go for a run. Exercise is a stress reliever, and you'll burn some calories while you're at it.
3. Post on Instagram/Facebook/Twitter. Post a throwback photo, something that'll make you smile. It's okay if you, low key, hope they like it.
4. Answer the question: Why am I texting him, again? Check yourself before you wreck yourself, honey.
5. Take yourself out to a nice dinner. You can hit on the cute waiter throughout dinner, and give them your number at the end of it.
6. Make that doctors appointment that you've been avoiding for years. Health first!!
7. Reorganize your Pinterest board. It needs to be done, and why the f*** not?
8. Go shopping, buy that leotard that you know you want and wear it. Seriously, just get it.
9. Stop checking your phone. They aren't going to say hi.
10. Flush your phone down the toilet and hop on a flight to Aruba.
11. Delete their number. You're too good for him (or her) anyway.
