I started watching The Secret, a ""documentary"" about the LoA, and the people in that film claim that the bad things that have happened to you throughout your life have happened as a direct result of negative thinking. Which is a concept I just can't buy. Not everything that happens to you is within your control, and not everything happens for a reason. To say that trauma is the victim's fault is the textbook definition of victim-blaming.

I appreciate the concept that you can manifest your desires using positive thinking. But the flip side of that statement is absolutely wrong and very offensive.

it coulda been (a) me, but my nails are bit to the quick, and ive never done such a thing in 28 years, so no (b) kevin, but very unlikely, his nails are long enough to do it but my elbow is very small in terms of a target, like the chances of an accidental scratching of that depth in that spot are pretty small, and again, while he does throw elbows at me w some regularity, he's never scratched me before (c) me, but not really me, ya know? (d) some kinda spirit related thing? either a warning from something benevolent abt something malevolent or just straight up an attack from something malevolent?

idk ive been noticing weird shit around my bedside table, i think my nightmare jar needs a cleansing and i know my house is due for one and my wards probably need redoing, and ive been doing really well lately so that's reason enough for them to attack me, theyve probs been waiting for an opening and now they have one bc its hard for me to keep up on my mundane chores much less my magical/spiritual ones
