Your 9-5 IS Killing Your Dreams—And Anyone Saying Otherwise is Deep in the Delusion


         Alright, I’ve had enough.

If I see one more person chirping, “Your 9-5 isn’t killing your dreams, you just need better time management,” I might actually combust. Because yes, your 9-5 IS killing your dreams. And the fact that people are still defending the modern-day slave system with their whole chest is proof of just how brainwashed society is.

We are the only species on this planet that has to pay to exist. Every other creature wakes up, eats, lives, and just is. But no, humans? We’ve got to sign away our best years, trading them for a paycheck that barely covers survival, while billionaires hoard resources like they’re playing Monopoly on expert mode.

And for what? A 40-hour workweek that actually drains way more than just 40 hours when you factor in commute times, mind-numbing meetings, unpaid emotional labor, and the existential crisis that comes with selling your soul for a direct deposit?

The System is Designed to Keep You Chained

People who claim a job isn’t killing your dreams are the same ones who:

  • Have never had to choose between rent and groceries.
  • Genuinely think “work-life balance” is more than a corporate buzzword.
  • Have convinced themselves that “grinding” is a personality trait.

But let’s get real: if your entire energy, mental capacity, and best creative hours are siphoned off to keep the machine running, how the hell are you supposed to have anything left for your dreams? “Hustle after work,” they say. Oh yeah? On what energy? After an entire day of being micromanaged, gaslit by corporate nonsense, and spiritually drained?

You Were Never Meant to Be a Corporate Cog

We weren’t meant to spend most of our waking hours answering emails, making rich people richer, and being told when we can eat, sleep, or take a vacation (if we even get one). We were meant to live—to create, explore, rest, and coexist with the planet, not be taxed, surveilled, and exploited into submission.

The worst part? They gaslight us into thinking it’s normal. That the real problem is us. That we just need to “work harder” and “manage our time better.”

Nah. Screw that. The entire system is the problem.

The Future is Breaking Free

The shift is happening whether people like it or not. The great resignation? The rise of entrepreneurship? The movement away from soulless corporate life? People are waking up.

They’re seeing that their lives are worth more than KPIs, performance reviews, and an insulting annual raise that doesn’t even keep up with inflation. They’re remembering that they weren’t put on this earth to serve capitalism—they were put here to actually live.

And if that makes the system uncomfortable? Good.

🔥 Moral of the story? Your 9-5 IS killing your dreams. But you don’t have to stay trapped. Change is coming, and the system is shaking. The only question is: are you ready to break free?

Trumpets, Echoes, and the Uncle Who Knew Too Much

Image
  People have this uncanny way of showing up in your life and, without you even realizing it at the time, saying exactly what your soul needs to hear. Not your mind, not your ego—your soul. The kind of words that slip past logic, settle into your bones, and reverberate through time like some cosmic whisper that refuses to be ignored. Back in 2013, I was freshly separated from my daughter’s dad, living in another town, trying to navigate life while keeping my head above emotional water. My daughter was with her dad for the weekend, and I, as usual, was hanging out with my uncle. He rarely came to my place, but on this day, he did. We were standing out on my balcony, overlooking the complex pool, probably shooting the shit about life or whatever random nonsense was floating through the air. And then, out of nowhere, he hit me with it—one sentence that has echoed through my mind ever since: " You know, I hope that when those trumpets ring, you're on the right side of them. ...

Mischief, Menehune, and a Midnight Standoff in Hawaii

Image
  Most people think of Hawaii as a paradise—sun-drenched beaches, lush jungles, mai tais at sunset. What they don’t know is that Hawaii is absolutely riddled with spirit activity. From ancient entities to playful menehune (Hawaii’s own version of mischievous fae), the islands are basically a supernatural free-for-all. So, this story kicks off with one of my dad’s roommates, who—like all of his roommates—knows exactly what I do for a living when it comes to spirits.  It’s 2 AM— you know, the witching hour when the veil is thinner than a gas station napkin —and he’s fast asleep when something starts gently pulling the covers over his head. Most people would panic, right? Nope. Not this guy. Instead of screaming like a normal person, he grabs onto whatever the hell it is through the blankets and holds on tight. And then— POOF. Gone. Unbothered, he rolls over and goes back to sleep. But whatever it was? Not done yet. Ten - twenty minutes later, he feels something plop...

The Power of Intuitive Healing: A Personal Grid Experiment

Image
  Healing is a deeply personal journey, and when we allow ourselves to trust our intuition, the results can be profound. Recently, I set up a personal healing grid using carefully chosen crystals, a violet chime candle, and a focused intention to receive energetic realignment while engaging in other tasks. The experience reinforced the incredible impact of listening to inner guidance and allowing energy work to unfold naturally. Setting Up the Grid Using a combination of crystals placed strategically along my energy field, I aimed to balance and enhance the natural flow of energy within my chakras. Without actively directing my own energy, I allowed the stones to do their work, testing how effectively they could shift my vibration on their own. Notable Reactions & Shifts Immediate Sensations : Within minutes, I could feel my chakras "doing something," indicating an energetic shift in progress. My palms became hot, and my dominant healing hand was especially active. Mental...
