Okay, so I kept seeing the number 8788 everywhere. On license plates, receipts, clocks… it was kinda freaking me out. I’m not usually one for “angel numbers” but it felt like too much of a coincidence, you know?
So, I started by just, like, Googling it. I typed in “8788 meaning” and scrolled through a bunch of websites. Most of them talked about positive change, abundance, and manifesting your desires. Sounds good, right?
My 8788 Experiment
I decided to run with it. I mean, what did I have to lose? I figured I’d try to focus on what I wanted to “manifest” for a week and see if anything happened. My biggest thing was wanting more freelance work. My regular job is fine, but I’ve been feeling kinda stuck creatively, and the extra cash wouldn’t hurt.
- Day 1: I wrote down “I attract fulfilling and well-paying freelance projects” like ten times in my notebook. Felt a little silly, but I did it. I also updated my online portfolio, just in case.
- Day 2: I spent my lunch break browsing job boards. Nothing amazing popped up, but I sent out a few applications.
- Day 3: I got an email from an old client! They needed some help with a rush project. Not exactly a dream gig, but it was something! I accepted.
- Day 4 & 5: I busted my butt on that rush project. It was intense, but I finished it on time and the client was super happy.
- Day 6: A friend of a friend reached out to me. They’d heard about my work (maybe from the portfolio update?) and wanted to chat about a potential long-term project. We scheduled a call.
- Day 7: I had the call, It was a good project.
Okay, so by the end of the week, I had one completed rush project (and a happy client) and a promising lead on a bigger, more interesting one. Was it the 8788 angel number? Was it just coincidence? Honestly, I don’t know. But I do know that focusing on what I wanted and taking some action definitely helped. I pushed myself to put myself out there, and it seemed to pay off. Maybe the “magic” is just in the doing, you know?
I’m still seeing 8788 around, but now it just makes me smile instead of feeling weird. It’s like a little reminder to keep focusing on my goals and taking steps, even small ones, to get there. Maybe I’ll keep up this “manifesting” thing, even without the angel number prompt.
