Why have I never thought of this? Instead of having of an ex-boyfriend box I have discovered a new joy; a new and more economical alternative to the infamous Ex-Boyfriend-Bonfire. Oh yes. This is the new world - selling all the memorabilia. Selling it all on eBay!
Now, before you judge me, this does make complete sense. My emotional attachment to these items means nothing to the anonymous bidder. I get to avoid the painful unearthing of items with memories by wrapping them in brown paper and sending them far, far away.
I am making a profit of the turmoil of breaking up. I am a true capitalist. I have no soul. But, despite this, I do actually feel better.
I did happen to have a boyfriend who regularly gave me utterly useless things which I didn't want. He also sulked about my reception of such gifts as I have one of those faces which it is difficult to hide disappointment on. My face cannot lie and so I was doomed to always receive my impromptu love-gifts and then begin an argument about my disgustingly ungrateful attitude. Is it really so wrong to want something fluffy or sparkly or cute and then look a little bit sad when you are given an electronic guinea pig, which is frankly none of the above? No. No it is not. In fact I think you are beginning to see my point, no?
Well, my time has come and revenge is sweet because now that I am passing on my treasures I can truly get what we so often get to experience - satisfying closure. Because now I can take my heartless profits and buy what I bloody well wanted in the first place. And it won't matter what face I make when I get it home!
I recommend this. Pass on the joy!
