When your soul chooses love but the world chooses ego, you begin to feel like a misfit in your own skin. Here’s the heartfelt, uncomfortable, and beautiful truth of what it really means to live.
A Body Walks In, Carrying Life
Life doesn’t ask for your permission before slipping into a body.
It just is—soft, sacred, pulsing. A cosmic “ta-da!” and suddenly, here you are… crying at birth, clueless about taxes, and wondering what the hell this place is all about.
But if you peel back every “what’s my purpose” Instagram quote,
the answer is absurdly simple:
To live.
Not to be extraordinary. Not to be understood.
Just… to live.
Yet somehow, the moment our brain grows teeth, it starts chewing on complexity.
And just like that, “living” becomes a syllabus. A competition. A soap opera sponsored by the ego.
The Inner Misfit in a Performing World
There was a time when I thought maybe the problem was me.
Maybe I was too intense.
Too honest.
Too full of love that had no filter or form.
You try being the guy who speaks the truth when people just want sugar.
You try showing up with presence when everyone’s scrolling for attention.
You try loving unconditionally—and watch how quickly you get labelled “too much” or “too naive.”
I used to rewrite my words, water them down, just so they’d go down easier.
But here’s what I learned the hard way:
No matter how sweet your truth, someone will still try to steal it.
Not because they’re evil—
But because they don’t know how to hold anything they can’t possess.
The Soul Knows, But the World Forgets
See, the soul doesn’t need a reason to love.
It is love.
But the world we’re placed into runs on transactions.
“Give love, get loyalty.”
“Be nice, get attention.”
“Speak the truth, get punished.”
The irony?
People don’t want truth—they want comfort.
They don’t want your depth—they want your convenience.
And when you say something real, raw, from the gut,
they hear bitterness.
Not because you’re bitter.
But because truth tastes bitter… to a mouth addicted to lies.
Why Loving Souls Struggle in This Setup
If you’ve ever felt like an outsider in a world that rewards superficiality, here’s the bittersweet truth:
- You’re not broken. You’re awake.
- You’re not antisocial. You’re protecting your peace.
- You’re not bitter. You’re burned from being too honest too often.
Love is your default mode, but the setup around you forces you to build walls.
And even when you try to share from a place of clarity, people see competition, not compassion.
But don’t let that change your essence.
Don’t let the thieves make you hide your treasure.
Don’t let the noise drown your stillness.
Your Truth is Meant for Souls, Not Egos
The next time someone tries to dim your truth, remember this:
“Your words aren’t too much. Their capacity is too little.”
Keep living.
Not as performance.
But as presence.
And if you’ve ever felt alone in this way of being—
congrats, you’re one of the rare souls who remembered what life is actually for.
To love.
To witness.
To live—truly, deeply, wildly.
And when you rise, rise so slowly and soulfully,
they can’t tell if you’re floating or just finally free.
