Former & Social Media : How should we feel when we see our ex in photos on social media?
Did you see your ex after years in a photo on social media through a mutual acquaintance and feel a strange feeling?
Then you're in the right place, since all of us, more or less, experience a little blackout when we see our exes after years.
Others don't care that much, while others look back and yearn for the past.
And damn the time you saw a photo of your ex and immediately sent it to your best friend to ask him if he looked prettier and if he changed even a little.
And of course, in terms of appearance, he changed, but you're not so sure about his character, because people don't change.
So you stay stuck on the photo of your ex and instead of closing it and moving on with your life, because many years have passed, you look at it with nostalgia and with tears in your eyes.
Not because you missed him, but because you had spent good and bad times together and because you had been together for years.
You bring him to mind and you start to wonder if he's thinking about you like you are now, but I'm sure you're saying to yourself "come on, stop thinking about me", but you never know because you can't be inside someone else's mind.
I know how it is and on the one hand I understand you, but on the other hand I have to tell you that it's not worth going back to the old ways, because you're the one who will get hurt again.
And because something similar happened to me recently, my best friend's divine response was:
Well, how many years has it taken him to change his profile picture? Send him a message immediately to change it, that's a sin!
And somewhere there I start laughing and forget about the photo I had just seen, where she had changed so much and looked so beautiful - and it wasn't me who said she had aged, but my best friend did.
You move forward with your life as if nothing ever happened, you have, in short, pressed the magic "delete" button from both your heart and your mind.
If you're still thinking about him after this shock, I remind you of Vandi's song:
Because if I don't have anything to say to you
Because if I don't have anything to say to you
The Earth doesn't turn, it doesn't go any further, and the day doesn't dawn.
Because if I don't have anything to say to you
Yes, if I don't have anything to say to you
Where I've lived half my life together, what am I doing half of it here?
