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.

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.
so, you really believe the universe is delivering everything you want??? 😁
hey, totally feel you on this one. i've been there, questioning life paths and all. "do i want simplicity or luxury?"—it's a big question. i get the whole trust issue thing. it’s hard to open up after past stuff. i once doubted if stability or excitement was better for me, too. for what it's worth, it's ok to take your time figuring it out. balance can bring happiness in each path. just trust the journey and yourself a bit more. that’s where real change starts. 😊
really feel your story. manifesting with the universe can work sometimes, but can it solve everything??? i tried it once, and yeah, saw a little change. trust issues are tricky. had them myself, and it wasn't easy fixing;;; choosing between simple or luxurious life feels like a big dilemma. both paths have their flaws?! maybe start small and see which feels right. taking steps rather than expecting immediate results might help more; finding balance is hard, but could be worth trying. just don't rely on the universe alone! 😊
man, i totally get what you're saying!!! the universe's like teasing us with the law of attraction, right?!! it's like, why can't things just be simple and show up already?? the trust issues with the opposite sex are real, and it's a total drag dealing with that baggage. like, can we just have a clean slate or something?!!!!
both lifestyles sound tempting; who wouldn't want the luxury of an iced coffee in bed or making your own chocolate milk memories?! personally, choosing between a mansion or meaningful moments ain't easy. you nailed it, both paths have their own perks. maybe it's about finding a mix that doesn't stress you out too much. you just gotta keep at it and maybe the universe will finally pick up on those vibes!!! 😅
i get where you're coming from; the law of attraction can be quite appealing. "do i go for the simple life, or indulge in luxury?"—it's a significant choice. both options have their own advantages, sure. but isn't relying too much on the universe a bit naive??? trust issues with the opposite sex are challenging, no doubt. it seems like you're ready to change and manifest big time; are you focusing enough on personal growth??? 😊
