What a time to be alive. First off, I’m sorry for being MIA for literally months, but seasonal depression is real. And just…life? The world? Everything feels a little extra heavy lately so I thought I’d lighten things up with something silly.
Here’s an excerpt from the blog:
This is actually something I discovered a few years ago when I was going through my own breakup, and it's such a wild idea, I had to share it here.
I actually mention it in The Ultimate No BS Breakup Survival Guide e-book (shameless plug), which you can grab right here for $5.99. It's jam packed with funny stories, relatable advice, and journaling prompts.
But I digress.
The Bronx Zoo (and other zoos across the country) offer the option to name a bug after your ex. In the case of The Bronx Zoo, it's a "Madagascar Hissing Roach" which sounds like my actual worst nightmare, which is why I used the photo from the Minnesota Zoo in my header, because I literally couldn't look at the Bronx Zoo photos for too long. AND upon my research, I found that some people actually do this as a romantic gesture?! I guess if you're really into bugs? I would scream. I would run away screaming.
Personally, I prefer the zoos that name any roaches or bugs after your ex and then FEED IT to an animal, whilst livestreaming it so you can watch.
