Is imagination a gift or a curse? Some will say that this is a sign of creativity, open mind or some other hipster word. I don’t know, I don’t think imaginations should be put into frames. It’s something unique, more important than all these fictive terms.

But what is imagination? Foreseeing of things in your head – good or bad. I would connect it to feelings like hope and worry. Something happens to you or just flows through your mind and you start to guess a possible scenario in your head. But how often you think about the likelihood of the events you imagine happening? I don’t do at all. Sometimes imagination becomes one with fantasy…

It can be visualizing things in your head about the work you have or the work you want to have. You imagine your lifestyle – how much money you will make, what car you want to have, where you will live. You imagine something about a girl/boy you like – how you will be together, how will you spend your time and so on. You can also imagine how you are a ninja that chops into pieces 100 evil communists in China by itself. It doesn’t really matter.

What matter is that a lot of times, we imagine some things that we like, that we want to have, that we want to happen. That turns our imagination, our fantasy into expectations. Do you remember how we imagine things without thinking about whether they can become reality? Of course everything is possible, but you won’t imagine you are going to work in McDonalds or that you will drive a 35 years old car. You will imagine something epic.

So here comes the issue – we alter reality according to what we imagine, to our fantasies. And most of the time reality won’t be like that. Our expectations won’t come true. Especially when we are fantasizing about feelings, other people and in general things that don’t have power over.

Of course, things can get worse if we add drugs, alcohol and destructive behavior in the equation. What can we do? I don’t know and I don’t care. Is it right or is it wrong? It’s the same like in melancholy. Even if you don’t want this, you don’t have the power or even the desire to stop it. It’s sweet and salty and the same time – and we all know that is the best flavor combination.

I mean reality sometimes sucks, but is it right to let ourselves go into an outer reality where things maybe look better, but they are not happening?

I doubt, but does it matter? The soul of a human is the most complex things in the world. Hard to understand, wrong to understand, impossible to control.
