Is it just my imagination or is it real?
As a child imagination saved me from the misery, I was feeling inside due to my parents not getting along fighting screaming at each other, and eventually divorcing. I was left to myself since my parents were going through a rough time figuring out how to be happy in their lives.
I continued living in my imaginary world feeling secure and loved. Although school and society went against it teachers wavering me with a disgusted frown telling me I should pay attention to the lesson at hand. I could feel it (repugnance towards me) although I did not care because I was always gone to my imaginary land where I felt at ease.
As a grown-up, I stopped going to that special place society had gotten to me. Sublingual words etched in my mind It's not healthy you won't be able to accomplish anything you might go crazy. Well, that scared the shit out of me (especially the CRAZY part) since my grand-mother was Schizophrenic so I left most of my imagination aside from feeling lonely, miserable as I turned to drugs (synthetic imagination).
Why am I telling you this cause since I rediscovered imagination in my life I did a turnaround. I can create art in many different forms and ideas just keep on flowing. A gift that we all have but we left it aside scared of being judged or go crazy. Imagination is not just for art it is also a good tool for solving problems especially when you cannot find the answer logically. Don't get me wrong logic is very very practical in life but sometimes it cannot that is when you can rely on your imagination it can get you out of a difficult situation.
A psychologist once told me (about a person I felt didn't like me but never told me.); "do not be fooled it's just your imagination." Oh, how he was wrong on that subject when you feel something about another person it is right it is your intuition and intuition is not material it is not logic you cannot prove it but we all have it belonging in the realm of our imagination.
Great scientists from the past like Nikolas Tesla or Alexander Graham Bell before they invented they imagined it in their minds so to say that imagination has no right in science only logic would be wrong for we would not have electricity, cars, cellular phones nor airplanes. Moreover, young scientists of today like Boyan Slat invented a floating device to trap plastic waste to clean the ocean into the rivers before it reaches the ocean. Thanks to his image in his mind, we have hope in moving forward to make the environment accessible to the future generation.
Without imagination, there would be no captivating stories, thrilling movies, engaging music nor rhythmic choreographed dancing. No, enticing graffiti on the city walls no mesmerizing Leonardo da Vinci or Van Go in the museums. Prodigies like Akiane Kramarik who realized at the age of four through her imagination created stunning paintings. If we had no use of our imagination, no one would be able to express their trapped feelings through art and release it in all their forms.
That being said is it just your imagination or is it real? Yes, you can trust your imagination for it is part of your intuition, great ideas, problem solver, it can take you to another world, it can help you heal, it can help you learn, it can help you achieve whatever you desire most. Imagination is your creative power a gift given to you for only humans have the ability to imagine. Use this tool to achieve a renewed life many doors will open for the imagination is endless opportunities. You just need to imagine it.
