Imagination, and stuff like that.

There are plenty of times where I'm thankful that God has blessed us with imagination.

Think of how boring life would be without it! Heck, the world just might fall apart without our ability to dream up ideas and imagine new things.

Then there are other times where your imagination can be sort of a jerk.

Like when your imagination gives you expectations of how things are going to turn out, and then reality smacks you in the face. Think of how many times you've thought, "This did *not* turn out the way I imagined!"

Like the times where you're home alone and you hear a noise. The first thing that comes to your mind isn't the logical conclusion of "Oh, the dishwasher is on." or "The house is settling."

Instead, you see something like this:

(I don't care *how* much they could do with special effects now... Nosferatu is still the scariest-looking creep there is). :P

Or there are the times where you get a headache or you see some sort of weird-looking bruise on your knee. Your first thought isn't "hm, I wonder if I should get that checked out,"

Instead, it's "I'm going to DIE!"

This happens when our imaginations are fueled by fear, instead of creativity. Not my favorite kind of imagination. It's times like that where we need to remember:

It's almost interesting how our imaginations are what cause us to dream and be creative, but it's also our imaginations that allow us to be afraid and become disappointed. Sometimes it's our own imagination that hurts us the most. So is it still worth it?

TOTALLY!

I think it's funny how some people look at daydreaming like it's a bad thing. "They always have their head in the clouds!"

Sure, you don't want to spend your whole day in your own head, but I think daydreamers make up most of the people who have made a huge impact on the world. Think of how many inventions would seize to exist, how many influential people throughout history would just be another average Joe.
