  • Good Riddance and Bye-Bye! More Easily Said Than Done, Apparently

    Yup, that's right buddy. I deleted you from my BBM. Cya never!

    After a break-up, I like to do two things -- get a haircut and purge the sucker from my life. The first one is easy. "Make me blonder and sexier." My hairdresser always knows what I need. The second thing, however, is not so easy. Especially with Facebook, g-chat, BBM, etc.

    I remember the good 'ol days when I could rip up a few pictures and delete a phone number, and my ex would be gone faster than a bowl of ice cream in front of my dad. But now I actually have to have a debate with myself whether or not I should go back through all of my tagged Facebook pictures and DE-TAG the ones of us together. That could honestly take hours. Hours that I'm not sure I'm willing to spend on him, at least anymore.

    How do you delete someone from your life when reminders of them are everywhere you look and on so many different mediums? Do you delete all of your past g-chat histories, old emails? Do you delete of your ex's friends on Facebook? (yes, I was once de-friended by my roommate's ex. Honestly, it hurt.)

    A couple years ago, I would be asking the question, do you delete an ex's phone number after a break-up or keep it around just for good measure. But now I find myself asking, just how far do you go to remove someone from your life? Do you spend on the hours it takes on Facebook/MySpace/etc just to get closure?
