Episode 1183: ARE WE BECOMING STRANGERS TO OURSELVES?

Perhaps one of the most overlooked realities of adulthood is that very few people intentionally decide to lose touch with themselves. It rarely happens in a single dramatic moment. There is no morning where most people wake up and consciously declare that they are going to abandon their values, ignore their intuition, or disconnect from their inner life. The process is usually much quieter than that. Much slower. Almost invisible while it is happening. It occurs through accumulation. One compromise. Then another. One postponed dream. Then another. One ignored instinct. Then another. Not because these choices seem significant in isolation.
