How Letting Go Led Me to the Man of My Dreams
I’ve always been a bit of a romantic, the type of girl who daydreams about finding “the one.” So when I met Liam, I was convinced he was it. He was everything I thought I wanted—charming, funny, and good-looking. We had mutual friends, so we often ended up at the same parties or gatherings. Every time I saw him, my heart would race, and I’d imagine us together, like something out of a rom-com.
I’d heard about manifestation, and it seemed like the perfect solution. I started obsessively manifesting Liam. Every night, I’d sit in my room, visualizing us as a couple. I’d write down affirmations, “Liam and I are together,” over and over again in my journal. I even made a vision board with little pictures and quotes that reminded me of him. But the more I tried to manifest him, the further away he seemed to get. He’d chat with me at parties but never really showed any interest beyond that. It was frustrating, to say the least.
After months of this, I started to notice something about myself—I was manifesting from a place of desperation. I was so fixated on Liam that I wasn’t even enjoying life anymore. I was constantly anxious, always wondering if I was doing enough to “attract” him. My self-esteem took a hit because every time he didn’t reciprocate, it felt like a personal failure.
One night, after another party where he barely acknowledged me, I had a bit of a breakdown. I realized how ridiculous I was being. Here I was, trying so hard to make someone like me, someone who clearly wasn’t interested. I was manifesting with this frantic energy, as if Liam was the last guy on Earth. It hit me then—if the universe wanted us to be together, it would’ve happened already. But it wasn’t happening, and that was a sign I needed to listen to.
So I decided to let it go. I stopped trying to manifest Liam. I put away the vision board and stopped writing about him in my journal. Instead, I started focusing on myself—my goals, my friends, the things that made me happy. I began manifesting more general things, like self-love, confidence, and happiness. It wasn’t easy at first, but with time, I felt the shift. I wasn’t obsessing over Liam anymore; I was just living my life.
A few months later, something amazing happened. I was at a friend’s birthday party, chatting and laughing with everyone, feeling completely at ease. That’s when I met Jack. He wasn’t someone I’d noticed before, but that night, we just clicked. He was kind, funny, and genuinely interested in me—not in some forced or desperate way, but naturally, effortlessly.
As we got to know each other, I realized he was everything I’d been trying to manifest, but better. He made me feel secure, valued, and cared for. There was no anxiety, no second-guessing. It was just right. It was then that I truly understood what alignment meant. When I was desperately trying to manifest Liam, I was out of sync with the universe, operating from a place of fear and insecurity. But when I let go, trusted that what was meant for me would find me, and focused on my own happiness, everything fell into place.
Jack and I have been together for a few months now, and it’s honestly been amazing. I’m not saying we’re perfect, but it’s clear to me that the universe had a better plan for me all along. I just needed to get out of my own way and trust the process.
So if you’re out there, trying to manifest someone who isn’t giving you the time of day, take a step back. Maybe the universe has something better in store for you, something you can’t see yet. Focus on yourself, let go of the desperation, and trust that what’s meant for you will find you. That’s when the magic really happens.
