We have a saying here that roughly translates to "old salt makes you thirsty", meaning that you also fell in love with the person for a reason and those memories will never truly go away. But I agree with Mifig, exes are exes for a reason, and usually it's best to leave it be. I have, thank Loki, only a handful of exes, and I am actually on good terms with my first. Though, it took many years before we were comfortable around each other.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
