Writing

Almost a Year into Who I Want to Be

Almost a Year into Who I Want to Be

On 2 December 2023, I started a manifestation journal, and it went like this:

I will build a life that brings out the best in me. My life will overflow with writing, art, strong relationships, love, happiness, and wellness.

God did not create me to worry, to look to others for approval, or to put myself last.

Step by step, I will build a strong, bountiful life for a strong, confident, radiant me.

I have since learned that I was supposed to write in the present tense, but it doesn’t matter, because the verbiage has changed over and over since I began, and I like that. I have not stopped changing, and I wouldn’t want to. Growth requires it.

So, here’s what I wrote in my manifestation journal today:

Connection and clarity overcome confusion and conflict. Understanding my fears of being trapped by others gives me what I need for freedom.
