The Anti-Valentine’s Day gift guide 800 800 Letter To My Ex

Nothing like Valentine’s Day rolling around when you’re mid-breakup, or in limbo with someone who is making you miserable. The trouble is, it’s not just one day. It’s all the lead-up, the smoochy cards in newsagents, the never-ending reminders that YOU ARE ALONE. Lucky there are shedloads of people on Etsy who have a good sense of humour.

  1. Anti Valentine’s Day cookies. From ‘bite me’ to ‘love stinks’, these are a tasty way to pass the most commercialised day of the year. Boil the kettle. $34 USD for 1 dozen.
  2. Anti-Valentine’s Day Sad Robot. Because nothing says ‘today sucks’ like a robot with a broken heart. $45 USD.
  3. Valentine’s Day Blah Blah Blah Drink t-shirt. Let’s fact it, if you plan to bar-hop your way through the pain, it’s crucial you dress appropriately. $24.95 USD.
  4. Let’s go throw things at stupid happy people card. Want to make a sad pal giggle on V Day? This card could be just the ticket. $4.38 USD.
  5. Anti Valentine’s Day Candy Heart Drink Stirrers. Cheeky and reusable, these are just the thing for your anti V Day party. $18, USD.
  6. Instant Download Anti-Valentine’s Day Colouring In Page. Bust out your Derwent pencils and get scribbling; it’s a stress-buster, a constructive way to kill time AND you end up with something pretty at the end of it. $2.50 USD
  7. Do Not Touch Me Pendant. Poor Cupid really cops it on V Day but damn, this pendant is hilarious. $19.95 USD.
  8. Cupid is a lying bastard card. Says it all, really. $4.50 USD.
  9. Love Hurts bandaid tattoo. So awesome, and not just for Valentine’s Day. $3 USD.

How will you be dealing with V Day this year? I’d love to hear from you in the comments.

So long, and thanks for all the fish

So long, and thanks for all the fish 150 150 Letter To My Ex

Thanks for dropping off my stuff in my mailbox. To tell you the truth, seeing that you had done so made me a little sad. That stuff of mine you had, I realize, was the last tie that we had to each other. After that, all the ties between us have been severed. Just like in the Gotye song, now we both can move into that category of “somebody we used to know.”

I know I haven’t been in touch. If you want to know the truth, it was my pride that kept me from contacting you and showing you how much it hurt me when we broke up. I know we weren’t together for that long, but it happened so suddenly and when we were seemingly so happy with each other, that I was left shocked and heartbroken for weeks afterwards.

I never felt special with you. Thanks for that.

I never felt special with you. Thanks for that. 150 150 Letter To My Ex

It’s been three weeks since you ended it and I’m just so mad and sad and crazy about our break-up. I don’t know why because I never actually felt like we were going anywhere. That you wanted us to go anywhere. We were just coasting along and you got what you wanted out of it. But in all the time we were together you never once wanted me to meet your family or your kids. THey knew about me, but you never deemed me special enough to meet them. Or maybe you always knew you’d dump me and just didn’t want the complications if I had have met them. That realisation hurts more than actually being dumped.
