Manifestation works, but be careful what you wish for

The story

I've had a crush on this guy for about a year. At some point, he got into a relationship, but honestly, I didn't even know about it at the time. By the time I found out, I'd already detached from him and was busy with my own life, so it didn't really bother me much. I'd already accepted that nothing was probably going to happen between us and had genuinely moved on.

Ironically, during the time when I still had feelings for him, I used to write about him in my journal and casually manifest things like him coming back into my life. Nothing super specific, just little things I'd write about him and what I wished could happen.

Fast forward to now, and he's suddenly back in my life, freshly broken up, and showing interest in me.

And I'm just sitting here like... oh. So THAT'S what I was manifesting. 😭

The problem is, I don't know what to do with it now. I still have feelings for him, obviously, but I've already gone through the process of detaching from him once. Now I can't help wondering whether he's genuinely interested in me or whether I'm just someone who's convenient because he's fresh out of a relationship.

I don't want to automatically assume I'm a rebound, but I also don't want to get attached again only to find out I was just a second choice.

It's such a weird situation because if this had happened a year ago, I probably would've been over the moon. But now that I've actually moved on and built my own life, I'm not sure whether I even want to reopen that door.

So yeah. Manifestation works, apparently. Just be careful what you wish for because sometimes it comes back at the most inconvenient time possible.
