Losing my mind slowly
I Really Don’t Feel Like I Belong Here
Do you?

I am honestly flabbergasted by the fact that most people feel comfortable with this reality. Being on this planet is super weird to me. I am not acclimated to this societal climate. I don’t jive with the way people think. It’s like I am an alien in my own world.
What’s very strange is that people are unhappy, and yet they accept the way things are playing out. They participate in the game and then they sit there and complain about it. Humans in modern, developed societies are miserable. I can’t speak for those living off the land in “primitive” communities (which still do exist) because in this lifetime I am a white suburban woman with perceived privileges. But a lot of the time, I wonder whether I am the privileged one or I am being punished somehow.
People around me are deeply attached to physical things or relationships. They never seem to look within. What the fuck is this?
I think I am living among zombies sometimes. They are stuck in a dream, unable to wake up. But I see their souls. I know they’re not fundamentally brainwashed. On the surface, it seems like they are so trapped. What’s wild is that they believe they’re happy when they’re living in misery. They’ve been tricked into believing they are fulfilling their potential when in fact, they are doing nothing of the kind. I can’t wrap my head around it. How can they not see?
Selfishness also pervades. People don’t know the value of connecting with other humans for the greater good. That bothers me immensely. Life is so short, why live it only for yourself?
Is This a Joke?
People seem like they’re just living in a bad dream, being ushered along a path they have accepted without thinking too much about it. They don’t seem to utilize even a small percentage of their energetic and mental power.
Those with money want more, and the more they have, the more miserable they seem. Those who perceive that they don’t have enough want more, too, and can’t seem to find a way to change the system they live in, even though they vastly outnumber those who keep them in…
