My birthday is coming up soon, and he wrote to my sister asking if they already have a birthday present for me. They replied with what it was, and he responded to them: That's also a cool option, and the conversation ended.
But for some reason, I felt hot when I heard about him again. We haven't been in touch for 26 days

that sudden physical wave of heat in your chest when their name pops up out of nowhere is so real. i remember my ex texted my brother five weeks after we ended things to ask about my dog, and my stomach dropped so hard i felt dizzy for an hour. even when they aren't reaching out to you directly, hearing that they're hovering around your life just shocks your whole system back into high alert.
telling my family to block or mute my ex and keep every single detail about him to themselves was the only way i got my peace back. you can't control him reaching out to your sister, but asking her to give you a total blackout on any mentions of him will stop these random panic spikes from ruining your birthday month.
did your sister tell you about his text right away, or did you accidentally see it on her phone
she always tells me
