My life took a fascinating turn when, at the age of 38, I stumbled upon a term I had never even heard of before – "aphantasia." Coined by Adam Zeman in 2015, it's a word that essentially means "lacking imagination." However, it's important to clarify that this condition doesn't imply a lack of creativity or imagination. Instead, it signifies that the mind's eye is, in a sense, blind. Unlike most people who can conjure vivid mental images at will, when I close my eyes and attempt to visualize something, I see nothing but darkness.
