When awareness feels lonely. · High Vibe Tribe

When awareness feels lonely.

It’s really tough being the one who sees everything and won’t tolerate anymore. For example, what happened yesterday with my dad reminded me of that (he had crazy road rage with my mom and I in the car). Everyone in my family copes in their own ways, sometimes convincing themselves that things are okay when they’re really not. That’s why I’ve often felt alone on this path. Even growing up, I knew deep down when things weren’t right, and I felt like I was the only one aware.

I remember telling my sister how catching my dad cheating affected me, and she said, “Really? It didn’t affect me.” Moments like that made it clear that sometimes, I’m the only one willing to truly see.

But being the one aware pushes me to be better and to break the cycle. It fuels my purpose which is to help anyone who feels the same way I do. It gives me drive, even though it’s not easy. I just have to keep tunnel vision on what matters.

It’s really hard to be surrounded by this a lot. That’s another reason why I value my alone time so much. Even with my family, I can’t always be around for too long. Sometimes, after things happen,like the car incident yesterday, it’s hard to act like everything’s fine when it’s clearly not. I can’t even be fully comfortable around my dad. He carries this anger everywhere, and I need to protect my energy.

Being aware and protecting my energy isn’t easy, but it’s necessary. And I’ve realized that this awareness, even when it feels lonely, is part of my purpose.
