My bestie and I were having an email conversation this morning. We were reminiscing about how imaginative we were as kids. We had one game that seriously went on for years. We picked out some "husbands" from the land of Hollywood {I won't tell you who they were, cause it's kinda embarrassing} and then we chose some "kids" from pictures and magazines. We would play this strange version of "house' for days on end, rarely breaking character. We knew what our husbands and all our kids {I think we each had 3 or 4}were doing, what they were wearing, and how they were interacting with each other at all times. Looking back, I have no idea how we orchestrated all of that and had any idea what the heck was going on!
We had some vivid imaginations, I can tell you that!
But, it got me thinking about the saying "fake it til you make it". Perhaps I need to resurrect that imagination. What if I just started pretending to have things together? {like, pretend that I'm the woman who works full time, runs a successful etsy store, eats well, exercises and still manages to keep her house clean.}
Do you think that would eventually make it so?
What about you, were you a pretender as a child? Have you been able to use your imagination to help you in your adult life?
Imagination is pure gold. Never give it up.

I definitely don't imagine as much as I used too. I still do though and it feels good.
ReplyDeleteI think imagination is the key to life too. So often, what I imagine does actually come true. Its incredible. I think as a child imagination and play is practice for when we are grown-ups... but so many of us forget to keep using those skills. When I imagine I always think about it kind of how it looks "I'm a genie" and then I just make things happen :)

ReplyDeleteSeriously,I am the dreamy sort - never been able to shake it since childhood. Not always as good thing when you want someone to take you seriously but I wouldn't trade my dreamy side for anything -- at least I can keep myself entertained :)
