VISION BOARD BY MEIKKO LEE 34THPARALLEL MAGAZINE ISSUE 107

I started the year making a vision board. According to the sweet, old witchy-looking lady on TikTok, if you combine the vision board with a manifestation letter it raises your chances for success. She said that if you write down what you want for the year, lock the letter away in a place far far away, then revisit it at the end of the year, you’ll find that everything has come true. Extra extra points if you write down everything you want to let go of, and burn the letter under the winter solstice moon.

“Hey.”

“Wanna make a vision board with me? And write a manifestation letter?”

“Nah.”

“What? Why not?”

“Those take too much time. Good luck though.”

Frustrated with her attitude, I called my other sister Kolby to receive the same exact answer.
