Genesis: Manifested an Italian Consulate Appointment in 2 Weeks — Most People Wait 6 to 12 Months

A year and a half ago I began collecting documents from my ancestors to apply for Italian citizenship. The Italian consulate only opens scheduling every other Tuesday for around ten spots maximum. People in Facebook groups say six to twelve months wait is typical — some have been trying for over a year. Two weeks ago was my first attempt. The website collapsed and I got anxious clicking everywhere — no date for me. Today I began the process again. As the anxiety started forming and moving up my chest, something shifted — a sudden thought: 'Relax. You're going to get it.' The anxiety melted instantly. I calmly filled the forms and got my date scheduled for next Thursday morning. Two weeks total — something most people wait six to eighteen months to achieve.
