Day 49: Tales Of Instagram Exes And Getting A Grip
Day 49 Of How To Move On From A Man — 1LD
Tea.
My phone.
Sunshine.
Sunglasses.
My backyard.
Heaven.
Well, it would be if I could go out somewhere else so I could appreciate what I have. Instead, my cabin fever has reached a fever pitch.
I was determined to not let Christopher’s advice not be a waste of time. But laying low, never going anywhere until I had my breakup under control, was like being in prison.
A luxurious prison, with round-the-clock room service in the form of food delivery.
Still, I was over it.
This would be the last day I do this, I told myself. I was quitting the reclusive life. I wasn’t going to let any man dictate what I do.
I also wasn’t going to let any relationship define my actions. Needing sanctuary to get my head straight?
Oh, come on.
I wasn’t married to the guy.
We never even told each other we love were in love. How could I need so much intervention?
Get a grip, girl. Get over it.
And with that blunt self-talk, I knew I could get over it. I would open up Instagram, go to Douglas’ tagged photos, and see all the chaos from Thursday night’s soiree. And I would be fine.
F-I-N-E.
Watch me do it.
In the basking sun, I opened up the app and found his profile. Of course, I had to be incognito an use Highway’s Instagram page. Thank god we had this secret account Douglas didn’t know about yet.
When I logged in, Douglas’ name appeared on my feed straight away. No searching required.
Any slightly savvy social media user would know this wasn’t by coincidence; it was because this account was following him.
How did this happen? How did Douglas know about the name of our business? Who of my friends had been blabbing to the one man who doesn’t need to know this?
I clicked on the profile and stared at his feed. Him and sticks, everywhere.
At the pool. By the beach. In the gym. In his bed.
Different women. The same smug, single man unaffected by any type of heartbreak.
And now he was all up in my business.
Something was going on, and I had to find out what it was.
