Okay, so things didn't exactly end with rainbows and unicorns. We've all been there! Let's talk about making your ex question all their life choices.
Operation: Glow Up
First things first, it's time to unleash your inner superstar. Think of this as your personal Hollywood makeover montage, minus the cheesy 80s music (unless you're into that, then crank it up!).
Start with the outside. Get that haircut you've been eyeing, the one your ex probably told you was "too edgy."
Buy that outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks. Strut your stuff like you're walking the red carpet, even if it's just to the grocery store.
Upgrade Your Life
Hit the gym (or, you know, take a brisk walk around the block). It's all about feeling strong and confident, both physically and mentally. Bonus points if you accidentally-on-purpose bump into your ex looking absolutely radiant.
Find a new hobby! Pottery? Salsa dancing? Competitive ferret grooming? The more obscure, the better.
Imagine them scrolling through Instagram and seeing you casually sculpting a masterpiece while they're microwaving ramen. The horror!
Social Media Shenanigans
Instagram is your new best friend. Flood your feed with pictures of you living your best life. Smiling, laughing, surrounded by awesome people (real or strategically placed mannequins, your call).
Use those flattering filters! You are a social media goddess, and your ex needs to witness your reign.
Resist the urge to subtweet. Vaguebooking is so 2010. Just post amazing content and let them wonder who took that amazing photo of you looking so effortlessly cool.
The Power of "Accidental" Encounters
Casually show up at places your ex frequents. The coffee shop, the bookstore, the local pet shelter.
Make sure you look absolutely fantastic and are engaged in a riveting conversation with someone interesting (again, a strategically placed mannequin will do in a pinch).
A simple "Oh, hey [Ex's Name]! Fancy seeing you here!" said with genuine surprise (and a hint of pity) is *chef's kiss*.
Level Up Your Happiness
This is the ultimate revenge. Focus on genuinely enjoying your life. Spend time with people who make you laugh until your sides hurt. Do things that make your soul sing.
Travel somewhere exotic (or just explore a new neighborhood). Read a book that expands your mind. Learn a new skill that challenges you. Find joy in the little things.
When you're truly happy, your ex will realize what they lost. And that, my friend, is the sweetest revenge of all.
Remember the Goal
The key here is to do all of this for YOU. Not for revenge itself, but for your own personal growth and happiness.
If you happen to accidentally-on-purpose make your ex jealous in the process, well, that's just a delightful bonus.
Now go forth and conquer! The world is your oyster (and your ex is probably regretting their life choices right about now).
