Some Thoughts on the Site

In communist China, in the years after Mao's revolution, an important part of building a new culture was allowing people to complain about their past. At first, the more they complained, the worse the past would seem. But by venting, people could start to resolve the past. By bitching and bitching and bitching, they could exhaust the drama of their own horror stories. Grow bored. Only then could they accept a new story for their lives. Move forward.
-- Chuck Palahniuk

I started this page right after my relationship with Shrek ended. At the time I was bitter, and needed to get some things out. This site was the best way for me to go about doing that. I added complaints about the two other people I've dated, and invited friends to complain about their exes in a (half-assed) attempted to universalize my experience. If you've been reading along, you'll notice my entries have become less spiteful and less frequent as my resentment towards the situation has faded. Through all of this, I have been able to get past what I've been through. Now I can accept a new story for my life. But, I'll still try to think of something to write about the exes on here, just to keep everyone entertained.
