My Manifestation Experiment Showed Up My Perfectionism

Okay, Script-Breaker, let me tell you about the utter chaos that was my brain this week. 

Remember that Low-Stakes Manifestation Experiment I shared with you guys from the Mary Kate video—the one about seeing evidence of a neutral object, the star?

Well, I tried it. I did all the things.

 I affirmed in my mind, "I always see evidence of stars," and then I immediately proved that I am a ridiculous, over-complicating human being.

The "Not Starry Enough" Delusion

The evidence started rolling in immediately, and my brain literally rejected it all.

First, my niece made me a bracelet, and what was on it? A starfish. I was like, Hmm, does that count? Yes. But is it starry enough? Probably not.

So I moved on.

Then, a newsletter popped up, and the tiny little asterisk looked exactly like a star. My brain: Nope, that’s just a punctuation mark. I'm reaching. Next.

I was hunting for the big, bold, exciting evidence—I pictured a gold icon on a massive sign, or maybe actual twinkling stars on a TV show, right?

Something impossible to deny!

Something that would make me shout, "OMG, it works!"

My K-Pop Conspiracy and The Screw Discovery

I was about to dismiss the whole experiment when one of my favorite boy groups, Tomorrow by Together (TXT), popped up with their new Japanese album.

The title? 'Starkissed.' (And the songs are total bangers, by the way.)

My reaction? "Ugh, this is too on the nose. Is it even manifesting if it's related to K-Pop? Doesn't count!"



It's wild. 

The evidence was there, and I was actively rejecting it because it wasn't dressed up in a metaphorical tuxedo.
