⋆.˚ 𖥔˚ PERSISTENCE ISN’T THAT FUCKING HARD. YOU’RE JUST OVERTHINKING IT.
Here’s the truth, babe:
Persistence isn’t some mystical, complicated, twenty-step ritual with moon water and six daily meditations.
It’s literally just this:
“Yeah. It’s already mine.”
That’s it. No glittery lightning bolt. No thunderous spiritual awakening. Just a quiet, calm, deep-rooted certainty that what you want is already yours.
Not “might be,” not “hopefully,” not “if I do everything right.”
It is. Yours. Period.
“What if I’m just delusional?” “What if I don’t deserve it?” “What if it’s not working???”
Okay. Take a breath. Let’s be real: doubt is normal. You're not a self-help robot. You're not here to repeat affirmations like a broken cassette tape in a yoga studio. You’re not meant to be perfectly positive every hour of every day. That’s exhausting and unrealistic.
Even when you’re crying.
Even when you’re spiraling.
Even when you feel like a damn goblin in emotional shambles—
It’s still yours.
You having a moment of fear? That doesn’t undo the energy you’ve already locked in. You having a breakdown in bed at 2AM? Still doesn’t change the fact that what you want is already on the way.
Because you decided. You claimed it. You set that standard. And once you’ve decided something is yours, that energy doesn’t just disappear because your vibes were off for a day. This isn’t about being perfect. This is about being solid.
You’re human. You’re allowed to feel like shit. You don’t have to constantly be chanting “I am abundant” while forcing a smile like a possessed Barbie. You can fall apart. You can doubt. You can scream into a pillow. You can be a whole mess and STILL be magnetic as hell.
Because persistence is not about controlling how you feel. It’s about knowing that beneath all the chaos, deep in your core—you already believe. That’s all it takes.
That lowkey, quiet belief that never really leaves.
That tiny flicker in your chest that whispers:
“No matter what I feel right now… it’s mine.” That’s the kind of power you don’t have to scream to prove. That’s the energy that bends reality for you. Unshakable. Subtle. Devastatingly effective.
So cry.
Eat junk.
Doubt yourself.
Throw a tantrum.
Take a break.
Feel it all.
But don’t EVER fucking forget who the hell you are.
You’re not just manifesting.
You’re embodying.
You’re not waiting.
You’re arriving.
You’re not begging.
You’re declaring.
Because it is.
Even on your worst day,
you’re still that bitch.
🖕 Love,
✦ Mercy, your raging godmother or whatever <3
God, why?
⋆.˚ 𖥔˚ YOU WANT IT? YOU GOT IT.
It’s not even about trying. It’s about deciding. It’s about knowing. It’s about stepping into your power like it’s the only thing you’ve ever known. When you stop begging and start embodying? Reality bends. Easily. Naturally. Effortlessly. So here’s a cute little list of things I’ve manifested recently to remind you how dangerously powerful you really are. ˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ✦ ˚ . ★⋆.
1. Pizza. Two days ago, I was on the road with my mom and godmother, going to pick up my Samsung tablet. I really wanted pizza. I mentioned it to my mom, and she hit me with the classic: “we’ll have it next time.” Which, let’s be honest, usually means months or weeks later if I get lucky when everyone suddenly remembers. But I wasn’t fazed. I literally told myself, “eh, no worries, I already have pizza anyway.” This morning? My godmother texts me out of nowhere asking if I want pizza. I’m eating GOOD tonight. No crumbs, literally and metaphorically.
2. Weather change (no, seriously). So it started pouring heavily as we were heading home. And while I love a good gloomy vibe, this wasn’t it—not when we’re driving and I'm terrified for my life because it's actually flooding. I just casually shifted my mindset like “the weather’s already clear, idk what you’re talking about.” Every time doubt tried creeping in, I mentally told it to shut up. And not even 5 minutes later? The rain started fading. The sky started clearing up. A few rebellious droplets tried to stick around, but the vibe had clearly shifted. LUVIT <3
3. My Samsung tablet (aka my artist side has been blessed) This one is wild as fuck LMAO. Like a month or two ago, I was not in the best headspace, okay? My mindset was messy but I YOLO’d it anyway. I thought to myself, “yeah, I already have a tablet,” even though I knew I clearly didn’t. I let myself imagine it. I felt it. Doubts came in, sure, but I didn’t let them stay. Fast forward: my mom casually asks if I want a tablet because my other mom (yes I have two moms, yes they’re married, yes we slay) was planning to give me a Samsung S9 FE. I was so grateful, even though deep down, I realllyyyy wanted an S9 FE+—the exact one I had saved in my manifestation Pinterest board. And then boom. I recently unboxed it and I’m like, “wait… this isn’t the regular S9 FE…” IT WAS AN S9 FE+. Like girl. The exact model I wanted. That’s not coincidence, that’s alignment.
4. Hella good grades. Let me be clear: I didn’t just get good grades. I am the top student in my class. Point blank. I knew it. I expected it. I didn’t obsess, I didn’t doubt—I just let it be. Sure, I worked for it, but the mindset did half the job. I decided I’d have fun and win. And I did. A 96 average and a silver medal to show for it. But don’t get it twisted, babe. I didn’t achieve that because I was desperate or burnt out—I achieved that because I knew. I didn’t chase. I claimed. ˚ ✦ . . ˚ . . ✦ ˚ . ★⋆.
You don’t need to hustle for crumbs when you’re made for the full-course feast. You don’t need to compromise just because the world tells you to be “realistic.”
You just need to decide. Live like it's done, because it’s already done.
the only day you can reblog this
was feeling kinda down this morning so i drew max six times and that seemed to do the trick
LIFE IS STRANGE (2015) ↳ I know I’ve been selfish, but for once I think I should accept my fate… our fate.
