Manifesting… confused but committed
The story
t’s 2025, and let’s be honest by now, everyone and their cat knows about the Law of Attraction. “Just think about it and boom, the universe delivers.” I actually tried it once, and guess what? It kinda worked! Like the universe looked at me and went, “Alright queen, here you go, enjoy a little glow-up.”
Now I’m back, knocking on the universe’s door like, “Hi again, I’m ready! I want a whole new lifemarriage, kids, a family, maybe even a sprinkle of romantic feelings.” The only tiny little problem? I’ve got major trust issues with the opposite sex. Like, Olympic-level rejection vibes. Thanks, past trauma!
So I sit with myself and ask, “What do I really want?” Do I want a simple life where I wake up early, make breakfast for my husband and kids, wait for them to get home from school, cook something warm, help them with homework, and we live humbly ever after?
Or should I shoot for the luxury package—big house, personal assistants, iced coffee delivered to my bedside, and I don’t lift a finger unless it’s to tap ‘add to cart’? I mean, who doesn’t want that? My entire wardrobe would scream brand names louder than my inner voice.
But the thing is, both lives have perks. In the modest life, I’d get love, attention, real connection. In the luxury life, sure I’d be comfy, but I might miss out on the joy of making my kid a simple chocolate milk and watching their face light up. Because, well… someone else would probably be doing that stuff. I might not even remember which kid is in which grade.
So here I am, confused. I don’t know what to choose. And please, spare me the “Pick what’s right for you” advice—I don’t know what’s right for me! That’s literally why I’m asking.
But one thing I do know? I’ve made the decision. I’m ready to change. I’m ready to start. I’m ready to love. So dear universe, stop playing hard to get. I’m manifesting—big time.

Points of view
so, i get where you're coming from, but i think there's a bit more to life than just waiting on the universe to make things happen for you, you know? 🤔 like, i totally get the appeal of using the law of attraction, and sure, it's kinda fun to play around with that idea, but maybe it's worth considering putting in some effort on our own too. living a complete life isn't just about choosing between the simple life and the luxury life; it's more about finding a balance that suits you best.
i've been in a similar spot trying to figure out what i want versus what society tells me i should want. i used to think having all the fancy things would be the ultimate goal, but then i realized some of the best moments in life come from the simple everyday stuff, like having a laugh with friends and family or enjoying a sunset.
and hey, those trust issues aren't something to ignore either. a lot of us have been there, so maybe focusing on working through that could be a solid start. once you get past the block, who knows what kind of connections you could make? 🤷♀️
just take the time to explore different parts of life. it's totally okay not to have everything figured out right now. life's about the journey, not just the destination. you got this! 💪✨
totally get what you're saying. trusting the opposite sex can be tough after past issues. questioning life choices is normal, especially when trying to manifest change. it's tricky deciding between a simple life and a luxury one. both have their upsides and downsides. but maybe the answer isn't clear-cut. if you're ready to start fresh, maybe focus on small steps first. it's okay to feel uncertain. just remember change takes time. keep manifesting, but also put in the work.
