Lying

Lying is such an easy way to forget.
Say you’re not affected, you weren’t up for it anyway.
That he wasn’t all that and you could do better than be with him.
Say things like, well, he turned out to be Mr. Wrong and I wouldn’t settle for him.
And then, as days go by, these lies become true, thanks to reinforcement by friends and the healing process that all heartbroken girls go through.
If you say these things over and over again until you believe in them, they magically happen.
And this is one of the very few excuses for lying.
Because in this case it is very, very helpful.
