In many ways, this is the closest that I felt to being an adult. I just didn’t expect this is what adulthood would feel like On the narrowing of the imagination: I reckon it’s partially entropy, it’s not like we can avoid it, we cant be open minded forever, we all have a limited lifespan. But that doesn’t mean things have to come to an end, and that doesn’t mean we don’t get a fighting chance - if anything we narrow on things that don’t matter and expand on things that do

I believe instead that the social order is what makes us lose our imagination. We believe we have become adults, but in the end what does it mean to be adults if not to always be ourselves but with a huge baggage of information dictated only by a code written by other adults. But fortunately this code has not worked for everyone, otherwise we would not have everything that was the fruit of pure imagination.

This is such a good point. I watched a fascinating discussion that argued there was no free will because of how much we've been imprinted upon by society. The choices we make are within the limited options we're provided - whether we know they're limited or not. I try to catch myself when I recognize that I'm imprinting my fears and limitations on others, especially my younger family members. And I've started challenging my thoughts more often to get to their root and examine them for truth.

It’s inevitable, we’ll never be completely ourselves until we follow the social rules. That’s also why many artists are labeled as strange people, they use the imagination like they are kids, and this is not acceptable for the communities where we live in.

Yeah, anyone who goes against majority behavior gets a label. And everyone is ranked, according to what society has deemed right and wrong. How did we get here? Expected to cram ourselves into the same molds. How boring.
