That picture...

Have you ever come across a photo that made your life?

Whether it's on Facebook, Flickr, or in an old photo album, somewhere there is a picture that will make an event in your life completely worthwhile. For me, it was (yep you guessed it!) the most recent picture of my ex. Now, I'm not saying it was reaaally bad, I'm just saying I've never been more embarassed to have been associated with someone in my lifetime.

Ending a relationship and never getting closure can be one of the hardest experiences love brings. It's incredibly frustrating to never get to say those last few words you had stored up to put that person right in their place. If you've been following my other posts, you know that my ex and I broke things off nastily a year ago (actually a year ago today!!) and I still have things I would love to say to him. But honestly, this picture just about makes up for it.

The funniest part about this photo, is it was found on the very day I was considering reaching out to my ex. He had emailed me over Christmas, to which I never responded, but I had come to feel that we needed to reconnect somehow. And then as I was waiting for my email to load, I happened to glance through my newsfeed on Facebook and saw this picture.

I guess love blinds, because I can't remember him ever looking so awful when we were dating - in fact, the photos I have of us are quite sweet. But now..........balding, guyliner, and a double chin? I don't mean to be shallow, but I'm seriously embarassed that we ever dated. Even my friends were shocked.

This may seem incredibly shallow (I'm not daft - I do see it) but trust me, when you find your life-changing photograph, you'll understand exactly what I'm talking about. It's a fabulous feeling to know that the next time you see that person, if you ever see them, they can eat their heart out at how amazing you look.
