how to get over someone who pissed you off

Pray for them.

Goddammit really?

Yes

I can waste a ton of mental energy being pissed off. I can spend all day cursing them up and down. I can call everyone I know who will answer the phone and complain about this person. I can forego work, h0bbies, family time to be upset and talk shit and rant and rave.

Or, well and, I think some of the above is healthy or at least necessary….for a little while. And then it’s time to move on.

I would rather devote precious mental real estate to other things, like the band Geese or deer hunting. So I’m going to do whatever it takes to get that person out of my head. No free rent, especially in my head.

So I pray for them. What I pray, the exact wordage, well that’s between my higher power and myself.

It works, it feels counter intuitive and dirty. But I know it works, because I’ve done it before. Weeks later that person will pop into my head and I’ll realize how much I’ve NOT been thinking of them. The absence of a negative is a positive.

Fuck that guy, seriously, but I hope and I pray he gets whatever he needs.
