About this interview:

What happens to our imagination when life feels fast, noisy, or overwhelming?

In this TIMELESS edition, poet and artist Jason Bayani offers a powerful reminder that imagination is not a luxury but an essential part of how we stay human. He speaks about disappearing as a form of self-respect, the war against silence, and what it means to protect the inner spaces where ideas and intuition are born.

This short episode is for you if you’re feeling overstimulated, tired of performing, or longing to reconnect with your creativity.

Listen if you want to explore:
– how to stay creative when everything feels fast
– why imagination needs quiet
– the art of disappearing
– the pressure to produce and stay “relevant”
– protecting your creative void
– intuition as resistance
– how to reclaim your inner space in a loud culture

If you need a reminder that your imagination is still alive and worth protecting, this is for you.

What is it to be a person who doesn’t dream, who doesn’t imagine, who’s only consumed by what they want to have and can’t have?” Jason Bayani
