Pictures of Your Ex - To Keep or Not To Keep

Firstly, have to thank my friend for bringing this up :-). He was asking me whether it's wise for people to keep pic of their ex as memories. Of coz me being a natural cold hearted biatch said NO. Although i do have some pics of ex, the only reason why i kept them is because i look good in it and it's EXPENSIVE. Expensive in the sense that it's those small little pics u take from Japanese photo taking machine. Example, like this :



It will cost you like RM 20 for like 8-12 small pics.But i always love the Japanese photo taking machine coz u can look how you are posing. Only hate the fact that there's a timer and the instructions are all JAPANESE! Japanese products, i love you but do give an English language as an optional language for your products.

But my friend says that we should keep those pictures as a remembrance of good memories. He has a point and if you are sentimental you will do that. Will i do that? Nope. Unless we took vacation pics and the background is pretty and I STILL LOOK GOOD.

But keeping a pic of your ex can be kindda dangerous if you are not the type that move on easily or if you are a lonely person. The scenario I pictured here is that you broke up with your ex, went on a few dates with other people, things probably didn't work out or if they did, it was not as good as your ex, then you feel lonely, then while cleaning your stuff ooopps, you came across a pic of your ex, good memories flashed back, and you have the urge to call your ex to see how things are going, then God knows what happens next.

The other day, a friend of mine came across a picture of his ex on fb with her NEW BABY. So the ex got married while he's still single. Looking at the pic, instead of feeling nothing, he feels SAD. When you look at an ex pic, it's better to FEEL NOTHING than to have any feelings.

And i really don't like looking at the pic of me and my ex together. Sometimes it made me wonder, as i looked at the pic, how can we used to be together and happy. I guess the 1st year of a relationship is always UNREALISTIC because you won't show your true colours. But you always learn something from past relationships.

And it was only yesterday when i saw this malay drama where the guy keeps a blouse of his ex gf. luckily he burnt it when his wife told him to do so.

Good or bad memories, i wouldn't really want to remember. Past is past. But me being me, my brain is really good at remembering bad things ;-p.
