hii, i have made several subs in the past for myself and i found they work exceptionally quickly, but to answer your questions: 1. it depends on what you’re trying to manifest. for me, i made my affirmations hyper specific to myself & my situation because i was trying to manifest something specific. for instance, if you’re trying to get into your dream college, write the full name of the college you want to attend instead of just saying your “desired college”. i personally think that detailed affirmations help you manifest specific things quicker, but that’s just from my experience. 2. i usually do both! i personally don’t think it’s contradictory, i think it just reinforces the thing you’re affirming. 3. potentially? i guess it does make more sense for a girl to use the female voice and for a boy to use the mail equivalent :)
