ghosts

do you believe in relationship ghosts? for example it doesn't matter how big or small the area you live in, but once or twice in your life you're GUARANTEED to run into a relationship ghost (an ex/someone you slept with/fooled around with...) at precisely the wrong moment in time.

do you know what i mean? it's like there's an alarm that goes off that only an ex can hear, that tells them to pop up out of the blue with the sole purpose of throwing you for a loop!

it could be a bad time emotionally, or at just a moment where you're feeling a little vulnerable, or at a time when you're feeling a little lonely! but whatever the reason, you're guaranteed to feel worse after you see them!

running into an ex is always tricky, that goes without saying! you can think you're completely over the person (although who ever really gets over it?!?) and the moment you see them (whether for the first time, or simply the first time in a while) it's never a good feeling!

you know you've seen a relationship ghost when you turn white at the sight of them! your stomach does a little flip (and not in the way it used to) and you take like two steps back (in the wrong direction) in your head! that's when you know you've seen a relationship ghost!

do you think we ever give up the ghost? i mean, do we ever really get over the feelings we once had for an ex? or do we simply forget about them. we all know the eternal proverb (sorta proverb) about time healing all wounds...but does it ever really mend them?

i think that's certainly something that's specific to the individual and to the relationship. that's one thing i've learned so far about relationships; they're kinda like diamonds (puke, i know) for each one is unique.

well here's a pic of my anything but ex ken doll: i promised christina i'd post one. and thanks to michelle for the pic at the top!!
