  • On an Ex Who Did No Evil

    "I think the best way is to treat him as if he was a character in a
    story, almost. For you, he is in some ways…dead. It is a beautiful
    memory, and it will be hard to forget completely. But if each time you
    think of him, think as if it was a long time ago. As if you can no
    longer go back to him, almost as if it happened to someone else in a
    movie you saw. Change your heart from thinking about you and him to
    more of thinking of it as something you have left behind, such as
    remembering a band you liked when you were in middle school or
    something. You can enjoy the memories, but it’s not for you anymore.
    Does that help?"

      —myself, in an email to a female acquaintance.
