The Forgotten Spark

The Forgotten Spark


Reclaiming the Imagination You Were Never Meant to Lose

There was a time when your imagination moved freely—before judgment, before deadlines, before the world told you to be realistic. You dreamed without apology. You played without purpose. You wondered without needing a reason. And then, slowly, it faded.

The Forgotten Spark is a guide back to that part of you. The part that still wants to create, to question, to feel fully alive. Blending emotional honesty with poetic insight, this book explores how modern life silences our imagination—and how to gently invite it back.

This is not a book about becoming more creative. It's a book about remembering that you already are.

Through short chapters that feel like quiet conversations, you'll rediscover:

  • Why imagination disappears—and why it matters more than ever
  • How daily life trains us to hide our wildest thoughts
  • Gentle rituals to reawaken creativity, joy, and inner curiosity
  • Why reclaiming your spark isn't childish—it's revolutionary

Whether you're a burned-out adult, a quiet dreamer, or someone who's simply forgotten how to wonder, this book offers a warm invitation:

Your imagination isn't gone. It's waiting.
