There's nothing wrong with manifesting money.
There's nothing wrong with manifesting being rich.
Being rich doesn't make you a bad person. You deserve to have enough money to never have to worry about anything. You deserve good things in life. You don't have to struggle to be a good person. If you want money, get it.
''i wasted those years'' who cares. you lived the only life you could've lived in those moments
You did the best you could with all you had and knew. That was then. Here is now

can we please please please learn to differentiate between things that are good but devalued because of their association with women (caring for children, being compassionate), things that are neutral but seen negatively because of their association with women (the colour pink, having long hair), and things that are bad but associated with women because of misogyny (being materialistic, being stupid) because otherwise we’re gonna keep getting takes like “being gender nonconforming is anti feminist” and “not studying for your classes is feminist”
The Trouble with Wilderness by William Cronon
This article is very articulate imo in discussing the constructed and reactionary and specifically settler-colonial nature of the concept of "Wilderness" that liberals seem to take so much for granted as an essential, uncreated thing.
[Transcript:
There were other ironies as well, The movement to set aside national parks and wilderness areas followed hard on the heels of the final Indian wars, in which the prior human inhabitants of these areas were rounded up and moved onto reservations. The myth of the wilderness as "virgin" uninhabited land had always been especially cruel when seen from the perspective of the Indians who had once called that land home. Now they were forced to move elsewhere, with the result that tourists could safely enjoy the illusion that they were seeing their nation in its pristine, original state, in the new morning of God's own creation. Among the things that most marked the new national parks as reflecting a post-frontier consciousness was the relative absence of human violence within their boundaries. The actual frontier had often been a place of conflict, in which invaders and invaded fought for control of land and resources. Once set aside within the fixed and carefully policed boundaries of the modern bureaucratic state, the wilderness lost its savage image and became safe: a place more of reverie than of revulsion or fear. Meanwhile, its original inhabitants were kept out by dint of force, their earlier uses of the land redefined as inappropriate or even illegal. To this day, for instance, the Blackfeet continue to be accused of "poaching" on the lands of Glacier National Park that originally belonged to them and that were ceded by treaty only with the proviso that they be permitted to hunt there.
The removal of Indians to create an "uninhabited wilderness"—uninhabited as never before in the human history of the place—reminds us just how invented, just how constructed, the American wilderness really is. To return to my opening argument: there is nothing natural about the concept of wilderness. It is entirely a creation of the culture that holds it dear, a product of the very history it seeks to deny. Indeed, one of the most striking proofs of the cultural invention of wilderness is its thoroughgoing erasure of the history from which it sprang. In virtually all of its manifestations, wilderness represents a flight from history. Seen as the original garden, it is a place outside of time, from which human beings had to be ejected before the fallen world of history could properly begin. Seen as the frontier, it is a savage world at the dawn of civilization, whose transformation represents the very beginning of the national historical epic. Seen as the bold landscape of frontier heroism, it is the place of youth and childhood, into which men escape by abandoning their pasts and entering a world of freedom where the constraints of civilization fade into memory. Seen as the sacred sublime, it is the home of a God who transcends history by standing as the One who remains untouched and unchanged by time's arrow. No matter what the angle from which we regard it, wilderness offers us the illusion that we can escape the cares and troubles of the world in which our past has ensnared us.

“Night, to ancient people, was not an ‘absence of light’ or a negative darkness, but a powerful source of energy and inspiration. At night the cosmos reveals herself in her vastness, the earth opens to moisture and germination under moonlight, and the magnetic serpentine current stirs itself in the underground waters–just as the thick, snakey spray of stars, the Milky Way, winds across the night sky. Moon phases are a part of the great cosmic dance in which everything participates: the movement of the celestial bodies, the pulse of tides, the circulation of blood and sap in animals and plants. Observation of the night sky, of the stars, and especially of the moon, was the beginning of mathematics and science.”

12 Universal Rules to Save Money on Food, No Matter What You Buy or Where You Shop
Ladies make sure you have productive things going on in your life. Something to do and engulf yourself in rather than just scrolling through apps and waiting for the group chat to get lively.
This is very important to your self esteem. It’s not just “feeling” positive things about yourself. Part of it, which hardly gets talked about, if ever, is doing esteemable things. Meaning, having something tangible that you can point to and say, “hey. I did this. I’m proud of this. There is work and attention and effort put into this and I deserve to praise myself and receive praise from others for it”.
A kid who plays soccer and guitar and makes up dance routines with their siblings and has their drawings hanging on the wall will have much higher self esteem than the kid who only watches tv all day. One kid has done something. Learned things. Tried and failed and emerged victorious and it feels good. So when they walk around feeling hot about themselves, it is earned and it makes sense. It’s not a ‘fake it til you make it’ situation. Authentic self esteem, not just saying whatever affirmations in the mirror everyday until you start to believe it, is earned by doing something positive with your life.
Go cultivate a skill. Go practice something. See something to completion. Get a hobby or two. The human condition craves the experience of doing something well and feeling pride. Stop neglecting that part of self esteem building.
Stop waiting to feel ready. Ready is not a feeling, it’s a decision.
