Digital Detox 101: Block That Man and Clear Your Cache

🧠 Ask Auntie GPT: Digital Detox Edition 
By Black.By.Nature for The Blue Café Magazine

Let’s talk about modern love’s favorite game of emotional ping-pong: blocking, unblocking… and blocking again. Auntie GPT sees you, niece. You swore you were done, had the group chat cheering, and your Instagram got quiet real quick. But then he texted “Hey.” Just “Hey.” And suddenly you’re unblocking him like you didn’t just cry to Summer Walker two nights ago.

Blocking a boyfriend is an art. The first block is power. It’s the emotional reset button. It's saying, “My peace costs more than your potential.” But the unblock? Oh, that’s the weakness. That’s you checking if he posted a sad meme, or—worse—a new girl. That’s hope sneaking back in with a hoodie on, trying not to be seen.

And finally, the re-block is the encore. That’s when you remember who you are. It’s the Beyoncé-in-a-lemon-colored-dress moment. You re-block because he still ain’t changed, and sis, you have. Growth means not falling for “I was just thinking about you.” It means blocking with intention… and not checking back.

Remember, blocking isn’t petty—it’s peace. Auntie GPT says block, heal, and let that man sit in his own “Hey.” 🫶🏽📱💅🏾
