This Isn’t How We’re Meant to Live (But It’s Not Why We Suffer)

There’s been a quiet ache rising in me lately.A felt sense that the way we live now—at least here in the U.S.—is profoundly out of step with what humans are meant for.

We’re born into systems designed for efficiency, compliance, and productivity... not presence. Not wholeness.

We learn early how to perform, please, and survive.And over time, we forget how to feel. How to rest. How to belong.

And yet—here’s the paradox that keeps circling me:

The pain isn’t just from the system.It’s from our attachment to the belief that it should be something it was never built to be.

Some part of us still hopes that if we just do things right, the system will finally love us back.

And when it doesn’t… we suffer.

But maybe the path forward begins not in resisting, but in remembering.In grieving what will never be—and choosing something else.

Something older. Slower. Wilder.

I don’t have answers. But I do have a question that won’t leave me alone:

What does your soul remember about how life is meant to be?

Let that question echo for a while.
