Wastepaper

Picture a large, open notepad; a blank sheet of paper before you.

Write down everything you feel about her: all the longing, all the frustration, all the confusion, all the resentment.

Then, when the page is full, and you've got it all out of your system - tear the sheet violently out of the pad, scrunch it up into a tiny ball, and throw it away over your shoulder as far as you can.

And never look back. That's it. It's done. It's over. You're not going to think about it ever again.

Of course, you don't physically have to do this. A vivid visualization is enough. It's a powerful mental exercise, a kind of self-hypnosis.

And I do believe it's working. It's helping, anyway.
