All along I knew about The Secret and the law of attraction but I only started to apply it consciously after I broke up with my first boyfriend. I was devastated and also wanted to get back with him. I remember I asked the Universe if we could get back together, and I got the answer, yes.

Back then I was not myself. It was more like I was doing things for the sake of it, I did not enjoy my alone time. I was looking for external events to make my internal self feel better to get through the day. I watched a lot of videos telling me to be myself, to be happy. I thought I was doing it right but I wasn’t because I wasn’t fulfilling my inner self.

After a year and a half, I was still trying to manifest my first boyfriend back. Then instead, I met a guy who I felt could take care of me, although I knew he was nowhere near my ideal partner. But it seemed nice to have someone who loved me. Maybe that’s what love is, I thought. But I never had really moved on from the past during that time. Little did I know, this person was not what I thought he was. The first few months it was so sweet but then he started to not appreciate me and he was no longer willing to give much of his time to me. Then we stopped meeting each other due to the Covid situation. He stopped making an effort while I was trying to avoid arguments and compromised for his request not to be clingy. They were hurtful words.

Then soon enough, I started to love myself. It happened because that boyfriend was not making me happy and I was not going to let myself get stuck in that situation again. Then I started to be happy being by myself! I was making progressions, I was happy and proud of myself. Eventually, I felt happier when I was single! I did not feel like I needed to have a boyfriend at all so I broke up with him. I felt so relieved after that.

Suddenly I realized that I do not need to manifest people into my life. I radiate my positive energy. Whoever has a strong inner self will have the same energy as me and they would be attracted to me too.

I started to work on myself even more. I got more confident and became great at my work. I knew that I was a wonderful person. I kept writing in my journal and also did affirmations. Whenever I sensed myself feeling desperate or wanting a partner, I knew that I was not ready to receive because I wasn’t letting the Universe do its thing! So I would tell myself to be okay with the current situation and be excited for more great things to come. To just believe in the Universe.

Three and a half years after breaking up with my first boyfriend, he contacted me out of nowhere! I agreed to meet and we had a few dates. And it is all great! We both have grown a lot. I wasn’t in a desperate situation and I knew what I wanted in a relationship. So I told him that I wanted to get to know each other more before the next step. He was so surprised to see how mature I had become and he was proud of what I had achieved. He’s more attracted to me than ever before and agreed to wait and get to know each other more.

I have no idea where this is going but I got what I had desperately wanted three and a half years ago! I still can’t believe it. But things happen when you least expect them and when you are giving out good vibrations and energy. When you really love yourself and you would be happy just actually dating yourself!

I am really grateful that all these things happened. I know so much more about myself and it seems like my first boyfriend and I are in a much better place than before.
