Being single Quote by Anonymous
“Have you ever talked to an ex, & exaggerated on how happy you are since you guys are broken up? You tell them how you have this & that going on, how you're going out & enjoying your single life & no longer stressing, how you're keeping yourself busy with friends & family, how you still haven't found someone new but you're not looking, how you're okay now? But deep down, you're not okay. You miss your ex a lot, you visit their Facebook page almost every day, you're always hoping to see their name come up when you got a new text or call, you're still checking up on them, you haven't deleted the pictures, & you trap yourself in a room full of memories with them.”
