Your Inner Escape Artist |
Imagination is an art. It has the power to take you to places where life feels easy, colourful, and bright. But like all powerful things, it needs balance. It can also blur your reality if you get too attached to it, like using it all the time or, let’s say, most of the time. It’s your backstage pass to joy, not something that should hijack your front-stage performance.
Still, this art has the ability to show up not just to entertain, but to uplift. Imagination is your inner escape artist always ready with a rope, a hat, and a full-blown exit plan out of dull or difficult situations. And when things are tough, emotionally or mentally stormy… tough, your imagination isn’t running away from reality. It’s repainting it with a Hope Brush, dipped in Quiet Conviction. It says, “Maybe not this, maybe something else… maybe better.”
And guess what? This masterpiece is free of cost. No Subscription, no Login. Just the willingness to Pause and Ask, “What if things were different?” or “How else can I see this?”
If any of you remember that iconic Nokia Snake Game (yes, the OG one), then you’ll get this, ‘Imagination’ is like that Snake. You, being the main character, moving around, gobbling up thoughts and stories, growing in all directions. But just like in the game, while it’s fun to drift, you eventually need to come back to the center, back into the game. Isn’t it? Okay, here’s another one, remember staring at the ceiling fan during a boring class and imagining it flying off like a helicopter mid-mathematics period? Or secretly thinking your teacher was a ninja undercover? Yass, that was your imagination tossing glitter on a grey moment.
Imagination isn’t only for kids building pillow forts. It’s for all of us, especially when the real world feels a little too overwhelming. Just remember to use it as a spark, not a shelter because imagination isn’t only for artists or dreamers. It’s for problem-solving. For breathing life into moments that feel stale. For turning your commute into a detective scene in your head, or reimagining a failed plan as just a funny chaos in your episode. It helps you stay in reality but with a soft filter. A gentle shift.
So next time your day feels too rigid or robotic, tap into your inner storyteller. Let imagination dress it up a bit. Add a little colour, music, dialogue, or action. You don’t need a canvas. Just a thought that bends.
After all, even grown-ups deserve an occasional plot twist.
