The beauty in reality far outweighs the false beauty in spiritualism.
I suggest you read a few layman books on subjects like: cosmology, QM, evolution, etc.
What we know, and are finding out about these things are so much more interesting and beautiful than any fantasy.
I was pretty much the same as you when I was about your age. As each spiritual subject I was interested in was shown to be wrong and refuted time and time again, I decided that I'd much rather my beliefs be true, or at least likely to be true. I do not want my mind to be cluttered and handicapped by false beliefs.
It's got nothing to do with your imagination dying, or not being opened to experience. It's being opened to experiences that are supported by demonstrable evidence and reasoned argument.
The beauty of science.
