Hey everyone. Hope you're all doing well during these difficult days.
I had an interesting weekend I wanted to share with you. I spent the last 48hr with a friend I haven't seen in at least 5 years. We were students together, although he's 7 years my senior, and spent the weekend at our alma mater, swapping stories, drinking, and enjoying college football. It's very interesting to see how our lives are developing and restart what was once a very warm friendship.
I was raised, and think I'm steadily coming to believe, that everyone comes into your life in order to change you, or to, themselves, be changed by you. We're all here to help each other grow, which is part of the reason I adore this forum and Veronica's teachings.
This friend graduated thanks to my tutoring assistance in chemistry, and wanted my advice and support as he's transitioning from a woman he very much loved (they separated 5 years ago) to a woman he connects with very well, but has never dated. I like knowing what I know from LoA and from working on myself lately, which I was able to give to him in order to help him at this time.
One thing that really sticks out happened last night: For the first time, without my prodding, he explained his entire breakup from his love, for whom he still cares very much. It was eye-opening to finally hear the entire story, and I kept the focus on him as he gave all the details.
Afterward, as we were going to sleep, I couldn't help but apply it to my situation, and wondered what the meaning was. At first, I worried it was a sign that I should let go and move on, and it made me nervous. However, I forced myself to visualize some remote seduction, just to stay in the habit, and realized his story affects me in the opposite way--he has actually shown me how completely fixable my relationship is, as well as how good it truly is, and how much better it will be very soon.
I am so thankful the Universe showed me this--the other path, a strong contrast to my own--as well as how ready it makes me feel to continue manifesting and bring her Home. I'm so happy and excited for this day and every one between now and then, and I can't wait.
I know this is long, but I appreciate your listening. Have a wonderful day, everyone!
tl;dr - Met an old friend who gave up on his love, found renewed power to manifest my own story to build a different story.
