They didn’t understand me. But I wasn’t insane — I was becoming real.


There’s a moment on the awakening path that doesn’t come with bliss.

It comes with confusion.

Disorientation.

Isolation.


You start seeing through the masks —and suddenly nothing feels real anymore.

ree

That’s what happened to me.

I couldn’t pretend anymore.

I couldn’t lie to myself anymore.

The job, the identity, the rhythm of everyday life —It all felt like static.


My nervous system went haywire.

My body was shaking.

I couldn’t sleep, couldn’t focus, couldn’t even explain what was happening.


People said:

“You need help.” “You’re being too intense.” “You’re losing it.”

But I wasn’t losing it.

I was waking up.


Awakening isn’t a beam of light from the sky.

It’s a crack in the illusion.

It’s a glitch in the matrix.

And once it happens — you can’t unsee it.


I started feeling energies.

Noticing patterns.

Seeing signs and numbers everywhere.

But at the same time —I felt completely alone.


No one around me could hold the version of me that was emerging.

They wanted the old me back.


But he was already gone.


And yes — there were moments I questioned my own sanity.

When the signs were loud but the answers were silent.

When the divine felt far away.

When I felt like a stranger in my own skin.

But now I look back and say with certainty:

I wasn’t crazy. I was becoming real.

This phase wasn’t poetic.

It was raw, confusing, electric, and brutal.

But it was necessary.


Because this was the moment I started living from the inside out.

No longer performing.

No longer pretending.

Just presence.

Just perception.

Just truth.



🗝 What I Learned:

  • Awakening doesn’t feel like love and light — it feels like dying

  • You don’t lose your mind — you lose your mask

  • Being misunderstood is part of the path

  • You’re not broken — you’re becoming real



🪞Final Reflection:

If you’re in the middle of it now —the confusion, the chaos, the discomfort…


Just know this:

You’re not crazy.

You’re just not sleeping anymore.

You’re tuning in.

And yes, it’s overwhelming at first.

But one day soon, you’ll realize:

You weren’t losing your mind. You were remembering your soul.
