My friends and I discovered a form of art therapy to beat all other forms of art therapy… sketch your ex night. Supplies: paper, pencils, drinks, and some old photos that usually you would avoid at all costs. Print out the absolute worst, most horrid photo you can, choose the keeper, and flip them all over. At random everybody gets to select a jilted beau that will be the masterpiece inspiration. Look at the face you choose, your best friend’s former boyfriend or girlfriend or partner that you always had bad feelings about, hex them with the intensity of your disdain, and with a glass of wine go to work sketching them over and over again. Be intimate with the features of a person they are longer intimate with. Don’t hold back, take as much time to practice as needed, and at the end everyone must have their favorite drawing to display. This is the best part of the night, look down at the various picasso rip offs, eyeballs in all the wrong places, and noses at all the wrong angles, and everyone must guess which ex is which. Then, with the laughter and light heartedness, poof goes all the bad memories, and the times you got emotional diarrhea looking at those old photos, because, temporarily, these people you once loved are just funny, unrecognizable faces on cheap paper.
