Imagination Decay

I thought the journal prompt about rather or not your imagination is growing stronger or continuously weakening as you age. Imagination is hard to quantify because it’s such an abstract concept that our words can only grasp at its fumes because words too were meant to solidify the abstract. Different people imagine in different ways, almost as we all speak the same language but we each have mastered a different dialect. Someone who puts most of their concentration and energy towards something such as engineering may have a similar imagination as someone who puts all their concentration into dance, i think this is because imagination is just looked at as the approach and someone who thinks mechanically will approach the same concept as someone who usually approaches concepts abstractly and depending on the concept one person may be considered more imaginative than the other. I think imagination is relative to the concept that is being approached or even created. But I do think imagination can decay over time or strengthen depending on the person who uses it and how often they test it. As someone who is constantly imagining different design elements and figuring out different ways to solidify their own thoughts through art I think that my imagination is at least a little above average. Imagination shapes our lives in ways that seem minuet but eventually grow enough in magnitude that our decisions because of it can’t be ignored, imagination could be the way you try and escape from a bear, the way you talk to people, or the way you view yourself, any of those possibilities eventually shape yourself and how people see you. I think imagination eventually becomes your personality and your character because it does dictate your thoughts, so I guess you are what you imagine.
