Dear ex, i've been good without you.

So, like any other day, I listen to music while I’m working. But unlike any other day, today I checked out 8tracks.com. a friend of mine has recommended this website to me a couple days ago, but I just got the time to check it out today. So basically the website offers you a collection of people’s playlist, free for you to listen to. HEAVEN! Why haven’t I discovered this while I was still in the UK when I still got ultra fast internet connection? Krrrrr.

Anyway, on their home page you can see a list of newly made playlist. One caught my attention, as the title’s “Dear Ex, I’ve been great without you.”. HA! I thought it’s gonna be a list of mushy break up songs.. but the description isn’t. it’s tagged under “alternative”, “indie rock”, “soul”, “chill” and it says not your average angsty breakup list. So I gave it a try!

Turns out.. I LOVED it. It actually made me feel good and made me realize, that I am really doing great without my ex. The list is not mushy, and despite Adele’s song in it, it’s not “Someone Like You”. It’s “Set the fire to the rain”

You see, I’ve been trying sooo hard to let go of the ex. No, not because I still love him, but purely because I still cant let go of the fact that he wasn’t being purely honest about things. And yes, because of the fact that he doesn’t wanna talk to me anymore, despite his last words “lets be friends after we broke up”. GYAH. BOYS. LIES. So yeah, I’ve been trying sooo hard to let go of the fact that okay he lied. He said he wanted to be friends but he’s not being friendly anymore, and he doesn’t explain. In short, I was trying so hard to be ikhlas.

Time goes by.. it’s almost a year since we broke up, I’ve dated some guys (none made it serious tho..), I can say that I don’t have feelings for the ex anymore and I’ve finally realized that I can let go. I can let go of the facts I mentioned above. Insya Allah, I am ikhlas. In short.. I can say.. “dear ex, I’ve been great without you”. WOOT WOOT~!

So here’s the link to the epic playlist.. i hope you enjoy it as much as I do. and thank you, feelgoodplaylist for creating it. :)
