Spiritually Woke and Slightly Lonely
Nobody tells you that the spiritual journey can be lonely.
They talk about the glow-ups, the clarity, the peace that passes all understanding. But they forget to mention the awkward in-between—the “I just saged my whole apartment and cried for two hours but now I’m at peace… I think?” phase.
It starts off magical. You feel a tug to go deeper. You start journaling, meditating, maybe even waking up early for sunrise gratitude sessions. You're becoming more aware, peeling back layers of conditioning, breaking cycles.
But as you rise, something strange happens: people around you start to fall away.
Your group chats go quiet. Some friends don’t get your new vibe. Family members start saying things like, “You’ve changed,” and you’re like, “Exactly.” But it still stings.
There’s no manual for this. No one tells you how to navigate the discomfort of being between two worlds—the one you’ve outgrown and the one you’re not quite sure how to exist in yet.
So what do you do when your spiritual awakening feels more like a spiritual isolation?
You breathe.
You stop trying to fill the silence and instead, start listening to it. Because hidden inside that quiet is your soul, finally getting a word in. And maybe for the first time, you’re hearing yourself without all the noise.
That loneliness? It’s not a punishment—it’s a passage.
You’re clearing space. Making room for alignment. And the people who are meant for your next chapter? They’re coming. But right now, it’s just you and the unknown.
So make it sacred.
Light your candles. Write your truths. Let your tears be your teachers. Dance in your living room. Laugh at your own jokes. Build a relationship with yourself so solid that even in solitude, you feel held.
It’s okay to miss the old days while still honoring who you’re becoming.
This journey isn't about perfection—it’s about presence. You’re learning to stand in your own energy. To hear the voice of your intuition. To trust what you can’t see.
And guess what? You’re doing it.
Even on the days when it feels like nothing’s happening, everything is.
The loneliness won’t last forever. But the lessons you gain from it? Those will stay with you.
So be gentle with yourself. You’re not lost—you’re just becoming.
And that, my friend, is sacred too.
