Imagination: Living Life Beyond Reality

           Today I was talking to a friend of mine. And he tells me that he's old now and that his imagination has basically stopped functioning. I feel like imagination is one thing that all people should not forget about. No matter how old or young, I feel like imagination is an essential part of our lives. Imagination establishes a sense of creativity that livens up life. Even when a person is bored and not really doing anything, imagination can really make things interesting.
        Remember when you were young, with only a bed and a few pillows, you'd create a world where there was an ocean of lava about to swallow you. And so, you ventured into an adventure where there was no ending to the magic and creatures new to the world.
        Obviously, the range of imagination our imagination is going decrease as we age because responsibilities begin to weigh our shoulders so heavy, we begin to lose sight of the world that our minds can create. But really, imagination is what creativity is borne from and with creativity, we live a life beyond reality.
