Memo 003: Your Honor, I Manifested This

Putting your delusions on the record

Opening Statement

Becoming well-glossed isn’t always glamourous or easy. It ‘s a daily decision to believe you are worthy of everything you want. Not because you earned it through hustle or hardship, but simply because you exist and you desire. And that, Counselor, is enough.

In Memo 001, you were introduced to your glossed self— the main character in her highest form. In Memo 002, you outlined the first actionable steps to close the gap between you and her. But here’s the fine print: real transformation doesn’t hinge on dramatic shifts. It lives in the repetition. In the daily, deliberate rituals that say I believe in her. I am becoming her. Especially on the days it feels like a pipe dream.

This is where manifestation enters the chat, not as wistful whisper to the universe, but as a structured strategy filed away in your consciousness. A practiced belief. Gloss is not an illusion. It’s evidence of your commitment to yourself. And nothing—absolutely nothing—is out of your jurisdiction.

Testimony

I used to think manifestation was all vision board, no verdict. And dream lives were reserved for the extremely talented or lucky. But I’ve learned the truth: we are all capable of having everything we want.

A couple years ago, I started writing down everything I wanted as if it already belonged to me. At first, it felt delusional, like I was just pretending. But that’s what becoming is. . . a bit of delusion. Slowly, my life began to reflect those sentences. Things I once only dared to scribble into a journal or type in my notes app as a far fetched wish became emails in my inbox, bookings on my calendar, new neighborhoods I call home.

Now, I’m actually scary good at manifesting things I want. See Exhibit A.

See also, Exhibit B, the manifestation journal of award-winning author, Octavia Butler.

The most important part? I stopped waiting for an evidentiary showing that I was “ready.” I made it my job to create the life I was asking for through the things I did every day.

It wasn’t dramatic at first, but from writing down these manifestations, I started choosing differently— quietly and intentionally aligning myself with my glossed self. The more I wrote from her perspective, the more I started acting like her. Making choices she would make, saying no to things she’d never tolerate. If it didn’t come with more pay, more peace, or more purpose—I said no. I took time to go for long walks, to spend time with my friends, to actually enjoy life instead of constantly performing for the sake of productivity. Before every decision, I asked myself: Would she say yes to this? Would she even answer that text?

That is where the shift happened. Not because I’d checked enough boxes or finally '“earned it”, but because I decided I was allowed to have it, and I was going to have it. That belief— delusion as it felt some days— shifted everything. I was no longer hoping, but expecting. And the universe? It responds much better to certainty than to caution.

I won’t pretend it’s linear. Some days, the belief is a whisper. but even whispers, when repeated daily, shape reality.

Your assignment? Write your manifestations. Define the life you’re calling to the stand. Make it specific, present tense and repeat it to yourself until you actually believe it. Manifestation is a little bit magic, but further, its a memo to the brain, sent on repeat until belief becomes reality.

For best practice, think short, potent phrases that remind you who you are becoming. Essentially, manifestations are the voiceover to your main character montage.

If you’re stuck, here are some examples from my own rotation:
“Of course it’s working, everything always works out for me.”
“My energy introduces me before I say a word.”
“I am a magnet for success, happiness, and money.”
“People remember me because I make them feel good about themselves.”

Remember, file your manifestations in the post-briefing chambers to seal the deal.

Closing Argument

Let the record reflect: belief is the foundation of gloss.

Before the dream wardrobe, the perfect apartment, the inbox full of “yes”— there’s a decision. A daily judgment in your own favor. A precedent set by belief in the inevitability of becoming all you aspire to be.

Have the audacity to treat your desires not as fantasies, but as future facts— already in motion.

The evidence is stacked in your favor. Be guided accordingly.

Briefing adjourned. See you in the Post-Briefing Chambers.
