Ignoring
Why do we ignore? Depends.
Sometimes we ignore because the thing/ situation that we’re ignoring is not to our benefit. Think of it as a YouTuber not looking at the comments section, not to see the hateful comments, ignoring them. Or it could be you and me, not going to a café because we do not want to see a person who works there. Because we, for some reason, don’t wanna see ’em. In my personal experience, I ignored a folder with an Ice bottle in it cause I didn’t wanna go to the kitchen, thought it was so full, and it took 3 days to get back to the freezer for that bottle because of that. It could actually go beyond a task.
You can even ignore a goal. Like you wanna read 20 pages but you are watching white lotus at the time and you are so locked in on who is doing what on there that you say “oh, the way to reopen the lights seems so long.” It was never about the lights now, was it? well, at least not in my experience 😂
Or you can ignore a person. I think writing that, I thought it was the worst, just as I thought about the idea. Cause ignoring someone that once mattered… It hurt me a lot. But was it necessary? Absolutely, so let’s let it go. You can be half asleep and let their call ring just as it is… You can ignore your ex’s story, not to see them. And if I had to choose between holding on to something that hurts and ignoring, I would go with ignoring. It is an option.
You can accept that it is there and still do not choose not to act upon it nor give a reaction to it.

Especially for pain, it works this way. It should. And, you can ignore someone’s feelings towards you, I mean romantically. Like friendzoning. Yeah. I haven’t looked at those how’s I mean, those examples, so I want to tell my morally alike criticisms about them.
Honestly, it is your choice whether to look at comment sections or not, but if you’re in a phase where you get a lot of hatred, I think you MUST not look at comment sections. So, ignoring there, approved✅
Ignoring a folder? not approved, because you feel better when your space is not filled with unnecessary stuff. Yeah.
Ignoring going to a café because of someone who works there? If the coffee you get to drink from there is not a very good quality, a delightfully extracted coffee, then approved✅
Ignoring to read 20 pages? Not approved. Cause every time I read, I be like “why didn’t I read more lately?” so go and read my dear, kisses.
Ignoring someone who once mattered? In the scenario where they did you dirty, approved✅
Ignoring someone’s feelings for you? If you are not looking for a relationship and they treat even their own feelings as silly, approved it is✅
Ignoring your ex’s story? Not approved cause you gotta unfollow your ex anyways dawg.
