Good Riddance & Bye-Bye

After a break-up, I like to do two things:
1. Go the salon for a haircut and get my nails done;
2. Flush the sucker out of my system and my life.

The first one is easy. A single trip to Tony & Jackey is all I need and I come out feeling really pretty and ready to party. The second thing, however, is FAR from being easy. Especially with Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo Messenger, BBM, and all other social platforms out there.

I remember back in highschool when I could just rip off a few pictures and delete a phone number, and my ex would be BYE-BYE-BYE faster than Britney Spears’ marriage. But now, with all these social networking sites and instant messengers, I actually have to debate with myself whether or not I should go through ALL of my pictures and UNTAG his face next to mine. And with the number of albums that I have plus tagged pics? That could seriously take hours. Hours that I’m not sure I’m willing to spend on him, at least not anymore.

Still, I’m at the point wherein I’m tired hating people – especially if that someone used to be really important to me and the reasons for not staying is reeeeaallly plausible. I have no choice right? But still, it leaves me a big question on how do I get rid of him from my life when reminders of that person are everywhere and in SOOOO MANY FREAKIN’ MEDIUMS? Do I delete all of our past YM msgs and old emails?? Do I unfriend his family and best friends on Facebook?

How far should I go to remove someone from my life? Do I really have to dig into ALL of my web sites, IM’s and emails and delete his face out of my web page just to get closure?

Ugh, breaking up sucks.
