Ring ring! Collect call from the past do you choose to accept?

I used to get mad at my ex when he would do this. Ever had someone  
that you dated, messed with, or just used to kick it with so tight you  
could have been mistaken for family. Ok then picture that person
dropping  
off the radar. Only to mysteriously come back into the picture like  
someone just released from prison. This person is now looking for a  
place to lay there head hence the collect call. The question is  
should you answer. I called it the "bored rolodex effect". If it's
someone  
you were messing with they might have come back because who they wanted
didn't want them. If it's a "friend" the conversation goes something  
like: "Girl/Man where you been?" or "I was just thinking about you." The
problem with this is that it occurs every time they find a new girl/man.
Like was saying I call this the "bored rolodex effect." Let me explain
if one day you find yourself missing someone you have thought about in 6
month you are suffering from this. The only reason why you are calling
this person is because you know, or think you know, that person will
answer as they have always  
answered in the past. My advice is if you have someone like this in your
life delete them from every gateway they have of contacting you. This
not a bitter move, but a free space move. No one wants to be someone's
desperate last resort. Which is you should be able to let people like
that go. You can tell a lot  
about a person from their facebook, myspace, and/or phonebook. If you  
have people on your page that randomly added you or people you barely  
talked to when you knew: You don't know how to let go. If you  
still have ex flings or lovers in your phone from 3 years ago then you
don't know how to let go (I mean sometimes you can become friends and
regularly talk). If you keep "friends" on your page or in your phonebook
after they  
repeatedly pull disappearing acts: then you don't know how to let go.
Moral of the story if you  receive a collect call from the past due to
the "bored roledex effect"  
tell operator you decline because your life was fine before they  
decided they "missed" your behind. Once again have deep thoughts and  
reflections. 

Much love,
