The Law of Attraction I Was Practicing on My Own

When I was in elementary school, I had a pretty bad habit of daydreaming, and I loved writing stories.

Back then, all I wrote were stories about women.
They were completely uninteresting, ordinary stories about meeting someone, falling in love, getting married, and having children.

Once I reached junior high school, I even tried my hand at slightly more mature romance novels.
Stories about falling in love with an older man at the workplace.
Even if they fought or shed tears, I always made sure they had a happy ending.

Looking back on them now, the plot developments were a bit too cliché.

I thought they were at least somewhat interesting Cinderella stories, but the friends I forced to read them usually had blank expressions.

I realized even as a child that becoming a novelist was impossible.

Time passed, and I became an adult, became an idol, fell in love, got married, raised children, and worked. As I was chased by the busyness of daily life, I had completely forgotten about the stories I wrote when I was little.

However, one day, I suddenly realized something.

“Wait? I feel like I’ve experienced this before.”

A nostalgic feeling. A scene I had seen somewhere before.
I started feeling déjà vu over and over again.

I remembered! This is exactly the story I was writing when I was a child. And it wasn't just one or two! Almost everything I wrote!

While there were naturally some nuances that were different, it was chillingly realistic how my life had flowed in the main outline exactly according to the stories my elementary and junior high school self had drawn.

It’s a strange story, but a true one.

After I became an adult, there was the boom of Murphy's Law, and then the boom of books on the Law of Attraction.

I read them all thinking, 'Yeah, I know this!'

It is true that if you write it down, it will come true.
