When You Wish Upon a Star…

Harboring dreams of a weekend getaway with Jacob Elordi? Tea with Timothée Chalamet? We’ve got ways that you can make it a reality! Here are five tips to manifest a famous person in your life.

If you’ve always dreamed of being celebrity adjacent, this is the story for you. Who says you have to be a celebrity to attract one? Instead, it’s all about manifesting this person. Now, more than ever, celebrities are fairly accessible. Between Instagram, Raya, and the Hamptons, you’re likely to meet at least one famous person this summer. So how do you make this into something real and manifest our crush?

1. Develop your own audience. It’s always a good idea to focus on yourself. Especially if your goal is to manifest someone on a celeb level. What is it that draws people to you? What is your angle? Figure that out and make sure that you cultivate your own thing, whatever that thing may be. Once you have built your own following, you’re more likely to be noticed by the people that you might be noticing yourself.

2. Put yourself in the right places. We all know the celebrity hangouts and hot If you’re looking to meet a VIP in person, you have to be going to the right places and genuinely enjoying yourself when you’re there. You can’t be afraid to strike up a conversation with the people around you. I’d suggest Nick and Toni’s, East Hampton Grill, Duryea’s, Carissa’s, and more of these types of places.

3. Surround yourself with support. If all your friends think you’re delusional, then that’s exactly what you’ll be. But if your friends and loved ones truly believe that you will and are destined to end up with your crush, you’re setting yourself up for success. Your friends should believe that you are on the same level if not on a higher level than your object of desire. You need hype people!

4. Don’t obsess. Obsessing is never the answer, especially before we’ve actually met this person in real life. Take them down from the pedestal and realize that they are a person just like you and me. Understand and recognize that you don’t actually know them. You may like the idea of them, but are they even good enough for you? Will they fit into your life? If you make it all about them, they’ll notice that and be turned off.

5. Take the risk. We’ve all heard the story of the regular person putting themselves out there with a celebrity. That’s exactly what you have to do. A-listers aren’t in our orbit the same way that the average person is. They may not come across you on a dating app, and they make not see your social media. If you reach out to them, let’s say via DM, you’re giving yourself an opportunity to be seen. No harm in shooting your shot!

Unfortunately, my celeb crush is taken, and I’m married, but that won’t stop me from manifesting him daily and nightly. I’m talking to you, Callum Turner. Sorry, Dua! And Steven!
