Creators!!! Abandon Earth.

My fellow creatives, it’s time to hit the eject button if you haven’t already and escape from the limiting reality. What’s the point of living as mere spectators rather than building up your own wildest imagination in a separate universe? Let the world call you lost, foolish, or mad, and consider it a badge of honour—own it. Because if you’re not being called one, then you’re just one of them.

Imagine a world where all creative thinkers are bound to Earth’s gravity, where there is no originality—just another shop with the same products, the same red roses in a bouquet, the same blue sky every day. It all sounds boring, doesn’t it? Being different demands more than what you see or hear; it’s about teleporting to a world no one has stepped into.

You know who inspires me the most when it comes to limitless creativity and imagination? Kids. That’s right—ever seen a kid painting a pink sky or making a colourful forest rather than just using the monotonous blue or green? They are not bound by the mundane pictures we all see every day, until a time comes when they grow and turn out to be like us, taught the same earthly rules, blocking our wildest imaginations.

Let me tell you, the true creatives are not the ones who are physically present in this world but those who have transported themselves spiritually to somewhere else—those who know how to connect the two worlds with their imaginations. The lost ones are those who have agreed to live the same way as everyone else, just like any other ordinary person. If we're not escaping the gravity of everyday constraints, we are just coasting on autopilot. And autopilot is not where the magic happens.

Take, for example, Salvador Dalí, whose surreal landscapes were so vividly imaginative that they seemed to come from another world entirely. Dalí wasn’t just a painter; he was an explorer charting the constellations of his own mind. He abandoned the "earthly" boundaries of traditional art and crafted his own surreal realm. Or think about J.K. Rowling, who created a magical universe with Hogwarts, a place far removed from the mundane reality of Muggle life. Rowling’s mind was her spaceship, and her stories were the galaxies she explored.

People will be more interested in exploring your universe. They don’t want to hear about where they are already living. Imagine talking about the streets of Paris and the majestic views of the Seine at night to a French person—if not pissed off, he will surely never call you again. There’s a misconception that creative thinkers who seem “lost” are failing to grasp reality, but the truth is, they are continuously navigating the vast expanses of their inner worlds. The risk of staying grounded is missing out on the potential for breakthrough ideas that only emerge from bold, imaginative flights.

So, creators, the next time you think of ideas, just put on your headphones, listen to Cornfield Chase by Zimmer—it works for me, but you can choose your favourite—and escape reality. Explore the dimension you haven’t been to before, and you’ll find a way to bring both worlds together and create a masterpiece.

While in today’s time, everything has a price and is beyond our reach, one thing is still ours, priceless, and that’s our imagination. Don’t underestimate it because it’s free—you have no idea what wonders it can do for you.

I’d love to hear how you’ve “Abandoned Earth” in your creative journey. Let’s hear your stories and your explorations of untapped dimensions. Let’s keep pushing the boundaries of imagination together.
