[ Anon Meme ]

[case]

F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)

Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

ask

"if this is the best for both of us (say your name and his), then let it happen in the most perfect way possible, without hurting anyone nor disrupting anyone or anything"

THERE BAM YOU COVERED ALL YOUR BASES

Thank you. This actually helps.

I've always felt reasonably comfortable leaving things up to the universe and trusting that things work out how they are supposed to, no matter how painful the outcome, so I'll doing the asking thing.

Thanks again.

anon you replied to

you're welcome!

I used to ask/wish for very specific things and kept getting disappointed and frustrated, so I got tired of that and just "left it up to them", so to speak, and I noticed that once I stopped wishing for a specific solution, things sort of solved themselves in ways that I never expected but that hurt no one, so now I stick to petitions of that sort :D

also, if you wish for a specific material object, ask for "(description of the object), if it's the best for me, OR its perfect equivalent, in the most perfect way possible, without hurting anyone nor disrupting anyone or anything"

because sometimes it turns out that a different but similar object than what you wanted was actually perfect for your needs

and if you want something like, IDK, a house, or something, again, ask for the house that will be perfect for you, in the most perfect way possible, without hurting anyone nor disrupting anyone or anything

specifying that you want things to work out without hurting or disrupting things or people is important, because these things tend to make their way towards you through all sorts of weird coincidences and serendipity like shenanigans, and you don't want someone to wind up losing a good opportunity or getting hurt over it

It never occured to me to specify that what I want shouldn't hurt anyone.

See, he transferred to a building close by, still with the same company, but there wasn't any day-to-day contact anymore and I felt very despairing. I think I wished nearly every day for almost three years for him to come back over to my building, and I kind of trusted the universe that he would eventually. I didn't have a doubt.

Well, he did, a few months ago, but his career kind of went through a very rough patch beforehand. It was through a very set of serendipitous and odd circumstances that he lost a promotion, gained it back and then landed back in our building. He went through some angst over this, and took a temporary financial hit. I was gobsmacked that I'd actually gotten what I wished for for so long. But as funny as it sounds? I never thought for a second all that happened BECAUSE I wished it so. Or that his troubles were because I hadn't specified anything in a non-harmful way.

This thread has really, really helped me understand some things. Thank you guys. *hugs*

Yeah, I notice that not many sources warn about how you could end up hurting someone if you don't specify, even if that's not your intention at all.

It surprises me, because I'm pretty sure that most people wish for things without intending to cause any harm.

Wishes, words, actions and thoughts (especially when coupled with ritualistic actions) are very powerful things.

If it helps you feel better, causing harm unknowingly, while it does have consequences (as in, karma), doesn't hit back as hard as it would if you had wished harm consciously and intentionally.

And these are things that you can do to make up for it, maybe (unfortunately) not always to the same person who was affected, but wishing others the best, trying to be a good person and help others when you can, it all counts.

If this is weighing on your mind, you can ask for an opportunity to make it up to him (again, with the whole specifying no harm or interfering, etc.), or, and this is the route I would go, you can wish for him to get the kind of help he needs the most (it's better if you don't specify here something like "for him to get a better job", etc., but rather leave it just as "the help he needs the most", because it might turn out that he needssomething completely different for his life to get awesome; we never know vOv), for him to receive it without causing harm to anyone, without disrupting anyone, without taking away merits or triumphs from him or anybody, and for it to count as compensation for whatever harm you may have caused him.

I know I've hurt people in the past that I'm no longer in contact with and making it up to them in person could get complicated, so I've wished for them to receive whatever help they might need (because I honestly don't know what kind of situation they might be in and what they might truly need) and I'm pretty sure that counts too.

I'm glad this has helped you! *hugs*
