Can Someone Tell Me, Being Completely Honest, If Shifting Is Just A Big Joke That People Started To Do

Can someone tell me, being completely honest, if shifting is just a big joke that people started to do out of boredom because of quarantine?

'Cause I've been trying for almost a year, and yet it has never happened to me. There's only three times that I may have come close to it, and that's all.

What am I doing wrong???

I can't believe how I have been my own biggest enemy for so long and how it's only now that I'm able to see it!

I have been the one to stop me from believing that I can't achieve what I want, not the circumstances that surrounds me, or the universe, or whatever. But now that I'm truly aware of it, I'm pretty sure I can get anything and everything I want by simply manifesting, because it is that easy.

I'm going to believe myself from now on, and nothing will be able to stop me!

Thinking about how Percy should not have been the child of prophecy but it ended up being him anyway. Because there were TWO children of the Big Three in front of him: Thalia and Bianca. By all rights, it should have been one of them. While Bianca's case is more complicated, Thalia should have had to deal with the prophecy before Percy even got to Camp Half-Blood at 12...but because of a bunch of circumstances completely outside of his control, it fell to Percy to fulfill it.

And Percy was offered the choice on at least one occasion to pass the burden of the prophecy onto Nico but actively chose not to:

Grover looked worried. "But you can't hide things from the gods. Not forever." "I don't need forever," I said. "Just two years. Until I'm sixteen." Annabeth paled. "But, Percy, this means the prophecy might not be about you. It might be about Nico. We have to—" "No," I said. "I choose the prophecy. It will be about me." "Why are you saying that?" she cried. "You want to be responsible for the whole world?" It was the last thing I wanted, but I didn't say that. I knew I had to step up and claim it. "I can't let Nico be in any more danger," I said. "I owe that much to his sister. I…let them both down. I'm not going to let that poor kid suffer any more." -Chapter 20, The Titan's Curse

Percy Jackson was fourteen years old and really said "it shouldn't have been me, it doesn't have to be me, and I don't want it to be me, but I won't let another person suffer because of my own selfishness." What a kid.

Rebloging again cause it's insane how much my life has changed these past few months. I moved to another city, another state, I made a lot of new friends, I'm in college and loving every bit of it. For real, my past self wouldn't believe that we made it and we're so damn happy!!

I'm so happy those past few days, because everything has been working my way. And yesterday I just received the results from a college entrance exam and I placed so well among all the people. I'm pretty sure I'll be receiving my entrance confirmation soon.

And it's all because I have been believing myself like I have never done before, and it's so freeing and exhilarating to know that I can have absolutely anything I want from now on.

So do a favor to yourself and believe! I know I'm doing it and it's working!

Let talk about all the lines in the Grishaverse that are the most poetic, and that I would get tattooed to my forehead in a heartbeat

“What is infinite? the universe and the greed of men.”

“When people say impossible, they usually mean improbable.”

“The heart is an arrow. It demands aim to land true.”

“I am not ruined. I am ruination.”

“Fear is a Phoenix. You can watch it burn a thousand times and still it will return.” (One of my favorite)

“I’m the Sun Summoner, It gets dark when I say it does.”

“No mourners, No Funerals.”

“I would come for you. And if I couldn’t walk I’d crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we’d fight our way out together-Knifes drawn, pistols blazing. Because that’s what we do. We never stop fighting.”

I could definitely make a Pt.2
