Im texting my sister 🤔

Okay, so you read my confession about my sister catching me checking my ex's social media for what felt like the *100th time today*. It's been tough, honestly. Even though *we don't talk anymore*, it's like a weird compulsion. You know that feeling, right? That little itch to see what they're up to, even though you know it's probably just going to make you feel worse. Confiding in my sister was probably one of the hardest things I've done lately. I felt so much shame, like, 'Why can't I just move on?' But when I finally spilled everything, it was like a huge weight lifted. She didn't judge me, not even a little. Instead, she just listened, and then she shared some of her own past struggles with heartbreak. It made me realize I wasn't alone in feeling this way. It's so important to have your girlies around when you're going through something like this. We talked for hours about why I was still doing it. She helped me see that it's not always about wanting them back, but more about finding closure, or maybe even just a habit that's hard to break. We came up with a few steps together. First, we decided I needed a 'social media detox' from his profiles. It's not about blocking him forever, but just creating some distance. She even suggested I change my phone settings to limit my screen time on certain apps, just to break that automatic reflex. Another thing she pointed out was focusing on myself. Instead of scrolling through his life, what if I scrolled through mine? What new hobbies could I pick up? What friends could I reconnect with? We made a list of fun things to do this week, like trying a new coffee shop or going for a hike. It sounds simple, but actively planning things for me feels so good. It's still a work in progress, but having that sisterly heartfelt confession out in the open and getting her support has made a world of difference. If you're stuck in a similar loop, please talk to someone. It doesn't have to be your sister, but having a trusted friend or family member who can offer a listening ear and a fresh perspective is truly invaluable. It's about breaking free from that cycle and reclaiming your peace of mind. You deserve to move on and focus on your own happiness.
