When My Thoughts Came to Life

Hello, this is Meguru.

Here at this blog, we explore how the subconscious mind shapes our love lives through the power of our thoughts.

Here’s what I tell everyone:

Don’t get stuck on what’s happening now. Focus on nurturing that feeling of love between you.

Let me share a story with you.

When I think about truly living without getting hung up on current reality, I have to go way back to first grade. I thought it might be fun to switch things up and share this childhood memory with you.

Creating my own joy, no matter what!

I lived in company housing during my early elementary years.
Life was wonderful—my parents were happy together, and every day felt magical.

Sometime after starting first grade (the timing’s a bit fuzzy),

two older kids from our housing complex—K-chan (6th grade) and S-chan (5th grade)—offered to walk me to school.
(Since I didn’t know the route yet)

The big day arrived.

All our parents came out to see us off, waving “have a good day!” until we reached the corner.
K-chan and S-chan smiled and waved back as we turned the corner, leaving our parents behind.

Then suddenly, they took off running toward school like it was all planned out.

I was stunned.
They’d left me behind.
My guides to school had vanished.

But here’s the thing—I didn’t panic or chase after them.
I didn’t even run home crying.

Instead, I had one immediate thought:

Being in first grade, I probably couldn’t express it so strongly, but that’s exactly how it felt.
You know that feeling when you’re completely blindsided?

I was shocked to my core.
After all, the most amazing school adventure was waiting for me.
That’s what I believed.

But reality wasn’t cooperating.

So what did I do?

I couldn’t have put it so clearly back then, but that was the feeling exactly! lol

When I chose joy over disappointment, that harsh reality just melted away

As I walked along, I noticed other parents stationed along the school route, and plenty of other kids walking to school too.

I don’t remember every detail, but I do remember kind adults looking out for me and having no trouble getting to school safely.

Walking to school alone turned out to be refreshing!

The flowers were blooming so beautifully—it felt like they were welcoming me personally.

Don’t you love that feeling of being capable and independent?
Honestly, I was thrilled.

Resentment toward K-chan and S-chan?
None whatsoever.

To me, they were simply people who had mysteriously disappeared.

Nothing more, nothing less.

I felt like I had better things to focus on than K-chan and S-chan—I wasn’t going to waste my energy on that.

Instead!

When I prioritized having fun,

K-chan and S-chan’s actions quickly faded into sepia-toned background noise for me.

It really happened just like that.

So when I got home, I didn’t worry my parents.
(Not that I wanted to worry them anyway.)
After that, I ended up walking to school with different kids.

Looking back now, I think that was the moment I made my thoughts—not my circumstances—into my reality.

If a six-year-old can do this, surely we adults can too

Here’s my point—going back to what I mentioned earlier.

“Don’t get hung up on current reality.”

What does this actually mean?

If first-grade me had kept dwelling on every disappointing thing K-chan and S-chan did,
my vision of having “a fun school life” would have been completely crushed.

I couldn’t let that happen.

After all, I was supposed to have this bright, amazing school experience that I was so excited about—there was no way I’d let some minor real-world hiccup ruin it.

The same principle applies to relationships:

This isn’t exactly a love story, but it’s such a vivid personal memory that I thought some of you might connect with it.

Of course, this happened years ago.
You could say it’s just little me being stubborn and forcing things—and maybe that’s fair! lol

But hey, if that little kid could pull it off,
there’s absolutely no reason we adults can’t do it too!

Pretty incredible, right?
