If I ever decide to give up on you, just understand how much that took out of me. I'm the type to give endless chances, always have your back when you're wrong and truly accept you for who you are, when the rest of the world doesn't want you, I will. So if i ever give up on you understand it took everything I had left inside of me to leave you alone. Because if I love you and care for you, there isn't anything on this planet I wouldn't do for you.

Yeah, you should give up.
Stop trying. Yep, you heard me. Stop TRYING to manifest your dreams. stop TRYING to get that dream bod or that perfect house. You can't TRY to get something and HAVE it at the same time.
If you had what you wanted, would you really be trying to get it? No! That makes no sense. Say you want to manifest a dream house, you can't keep trying to manifest, you need to act as if it is done. You need to feel and believe that it's done.
Sure, do methods if it feels good, but do it to reinforce the belief that IT IS DONE.
Stop resisting. IT'S ALREADY DONE. How do you live your life from this moment forward, knowing you already have everything you want?

The pattern
(for someone who’s drifting)
Let’s say you’ve got something big you’re taking your kids to. Your friends are getting married. And they’re making it a family-friendly event.
Even so, it’s something your kids have never done before. So you try to help them out. By explaining to them what’s going to happen. How it’s going to go.
No questions at first. In the days to come, questions start to trickle in. You answer all of them.
And each time, you take the opportunity to tell them what’s going to happen. Again, and again.
The day of the wedding? It’s a complete surprise to them. Like you never said a thing.
Sound familiar? It does to Jesus.
In the months leading up to Good Friday, Jesus told His disciples what would happen to Him. Jesus answered their all questions. Even the weird ones from Peter. Again, and again.
Good Friday? It’s a complete surprise to them. Like Jesus never said a thing.
Much less told them that He was coming back.
How do I know this?
This week’s Gospel readings. Not a single disciple of Jesus is thinking about what Jesus told them would happen. No one is having a lightbulb moment, going “oh, that’s what Jesus was talking about.”
Instead, some of them are hiding in fear. Others are giving up and walking home.
Those closest to Jesus? That’s today’s Gospel.
They bailed out. They’re back at their old jobs. Like none of it ever happened.
The only constant? Jesus.
And the way that Jesus responds. To each of them, to all of them.
Jesus doesn’t wait for any of them to figure it out. Or even remember what He told them.
The ones in hiding? Jesus hides with them.
The ones walking home? Jesus walks with them.
The ones back at their old jobs? Jesus goes to work with them.
It’s a pattern with Jesus.
Jesus loves them too much to wait for them to figure it all out.
Instead, Jesus is seeking them out. Right where they are.
Sound familiar? It should.
Because Jesus sees you and me the same way.
No matter what you’re doing. Or not doing. No matter how much your normal has been upended. No matter what direction you’re headed off in.
Even if you gave up.
Jesus loves you much to wait for you to figure it all out.
Instead, Jesus is seeking you out. Right where you are.

Love comes with sacrifices. The important kind of love does not exist without the existence of certain losses. It remains to be seen which loss is possible enough to bear, to endure, to relinquish.

That explains Alex's turtleneck cosplay...Well this is a turn of events, isn't it...
