My ex that strangled me is working out back of my apartment on an art piece and I am nottttttttttttttttttt happy about it.
He stopped and looked at me while he was painting and I simultaneously wanted to ignore him and also let him know I SEE YOU AND I'M NOT SCARED (I am)
You see, I would avoid this area but the book store I now work at is also right here and I have to go out the back sometimes to take out the recycling and garbage. I didn't expect to see him there because he hasn't worked on that mural in ages, but there he was.
I chose to ignore him but be ready to throw him off of me or ignore his yelling at me
