So how I really came to learning about the law of attraction was February this year, after a painful breakup with my girlfriend of 2 years. At first I was looking for a way to get her back or someone better and LOA gave me comfort in knowing that it was possible.

It was a long process where I started from just trying to think positive to now where I am actually knowledgeable and my mindset is completely changed. I had to overcome resentment for her as well as my own insecurities. For a long time I had a fear of letting go and having faith things would work out. Every time I tried it I was not genuine. I was doing it purposefully to get her back and not for my own well-being.

A week ago I just decided it just was not worth it to keeping struggling with this desire and wasting my time. It had been going on for too long. Feeling I had nothing to lose, I finally let go for real. In my mind I wished her love and happiness in her life. I felt happy whether or not I ever saw her again. I finally felt confident that my life was amazing with or without her. Not caring anymore must have released all my resistance and then all the visualizations and inner work I had done finally came through. It was just like when Vegeta turned Super Saiyan for the first time, ha ha! It felt so good to have that pressure to make it happen lifted off of me.

Then out of nowhere, we reconnected the day before I was traveling to Philadelphia for an alumni event. But instead of like before when I was scheming and trying to find ways to force it, it happened so naturally and easily and there was no effort on my part. I had booked an apartment with Airbnb for the weekend. The crazy thing was, unknown to me at that point, she had just moved in a couple houses over, right off the same street just 2 days before I was supposed to arrive in Philly!

Long story, short, we ended up hanging out all weekend together and it was an amazing time. We made plans to get together again very soon and this time she is chasing me instead of the other way around. Even after 7 months and being long distance a thousand miles apart, it felt just like it did when we were in love before. I feel like this is a major victory. But what I want to stress is that it did not happen until I genuinely let go. Until I was happy despite the outcome. Until how I felt was completely detached from the current status of the situation.
