The Quiet Shock That Follows Awakening
Clarity exposes the dysfunction you once accepted as the only truth.
The more you awaken, the more dysfunction stands out. Call it growth. Call it self-awareness. Or self- evolution. Whatever name you give it, once you get to that point in life, you interpret reality differently. You begin to question what you once accepted. You notice things subtle things everyone ignores. The way people speak without listening. The way systems reward conformity, not truth. The way people pursue more but never find peace. The way people pursue lives they don’t even want. And people trading honesty for comfort in relationships. And the glorification of busy at the expense of a calm approach to life.
It’s the very beginning of awakening.
You lose patience for friends who bring out the worst in you. And shallow conversations. You stop explaining yourself so much. You care more about alignment than approval. You don’t tolerate gossip. You notice manipulation in conversations that used to feel normal. You hear control in love that’s supposed to be unconditional. You notice how few people question the system. They justcomplain while playing by its rules.
You will start asking better questions.
