It’s okay to ask the universe for the things you want.
It doesn’t imply you’re ungrateful for the things you already have. It’s not cheating or taking something away from somebody else. It’s not rude; the higher powers aren’t going to take offence.
Asking the universe for things has allowed me to shift from directionless, painful wanting to something more like hoping. Wanting is suffering, static. Hope is productive. Hope is something you can work with.
Everyone deserves to feel hope.
