You Know Me

Hi, what’s your name?
I bet it has a cool sound, you know, one of those that impress. My name? Well, I don’t exactly have a name, wait, either that’s right or I forgot, I could choose one, create one, how about that? Think of a name for me. It’s easy. I’ll give you a moment to think.
So? Did you think of one?

Now think with your eyes closed, come on, nobody’s watching. Even if they were, who cares? After all, I’m just that, a thought. Not convinced, are you? Alright, alright… But you thought of my name, now my identity has come to exist in your thoughts. Got it? Of course you did!

Don’t you think it’s incredible how we’re communicating with each other, even though you haven’t uttered a sound? Maybe you have, just to prove me wrong. But what matters is that we’re connecting with each other. Who am I? We’ll get there soon, what matters now is that my voice is being narrated by your inner voice.

Shall we change that? Imagine a voice, use your memories to recall one that’s familiar to you. Your teacher, your mother, or your sister. Don’t think about the fact that you can hear me smiling while I speak.

So? (laughs) What do I sound like?

Try not to think about my green eyes, or the blue shirt I’m wearing with these gray pants. See? Now I have substance and style. And it’s all because of you. You gave me everything. What am I? Well, I exist in everyone. Everyone on this planet has a little piece of me inside them. You can’t get rid of me.

I simply… am.

You call upon me all the time in ways you never thought possible.
I’ve existed since the first beings.
Still curious?

I am the imagination.
